Boxiing Day Sales

"We are going to the boxing day sales Mum"
"Sure you want to dear as you hate crowds hun".

It's not a good fit, we shop very differently
 she gets in and gets out and l browse magnificently.

We load up the commadore  to Boxing day sales we go
She hands me a banana " you will need this you know" .

So Mummy , Pixi & l at last  find a park
Big double pram with tractor tyres will make it's mark.

"The double pram doesn't really fold out dear"
"No Mum l kinda assembles it, so  stand clear"

Now Pixi loves her Mummy that's for sure
She wants to be with her more and more.

Now as for the pram,  Pixi's not too keen
So Nanny pushes her so Mummy's not seen .

Now this is going to be  very interesting
Pixi just wants Mum but we've  no baby sling

So us sensible mothers hatch a good  plan
to get what we came for first, while we can.

So buy the time we come out of the first store
Nan on the pram , Pixi's on the breast having more.

We try her in the pram again and here comes her little cry
Mum picks her up and she shows me a smile and a glint in her eye .

My baby grandaughter is playing us, its so true
But with such a cutie,  what are we to do ?

The shopping crowds are unbelievable
Sad bubba , poor aircon and rude crowd
the day may not be retrievable.

So we decide on a break as its going on one
no tables free anywhere,  we are having such fun.

Mummy carries an injury so by now she is sore
With a Pram full of new linen  n Pix on the breast , we head for the door.

It's the wet season  now and so it's the norm
for sticky hot weather and an afternoon storm.

The centre doors open, the invading heat is awful
to sweat this much Nanny  should be unlawful

I can't manage those tight car seat straps so    Pixi l hold
At the end of a hot, sore shopping day, Nannys do what they're told .

We set off in the commadore once  more
but there is one fact too good to ignore.

While Mummy has pillows and doonahs to show
l've spent no money at all so l'm good to go.

Next time l shop with Pixi it will be colder
Cause one things for sure ..she  will be older

Or at least l will be  certain of one little thing
that Mummy brings your baby sling.

l love that some  of my children live close to me
so on great or average days some kind of  support l can be .
