Grocery Stores, they're like Amusement Parks except people are less likely to Approve your Having fun

I dunno what it is about my family and grocery stores, we have an odd fascination with them. We legitimately view exploring one as a possible option for something fun to do and three out of four children (myself included) have danced through their aisles. I also don't know what it is about them that reduces my age by about 10-15 years (which is saying a lot, Im only 19).

 There is just something about a building filled with aisles and aisles of brightly colored objects and the occasional shiny thing that just makes my little heart close to bursting with joy, glee, excitement, and other adjectives not normally associated with shopping for groceries.

It doesn't help that there is so much fun stuff to DO inside a grocery store, I'm not kidding, Ima gonna make a list of them right here to prove it.

1). Yelling: Grocery stores are the best place to be the best at yelling. The acoustics are fricken amazing and in general people are too nervous to tell the crazy man riding his grocery cart that he is being a bit too loud with his rendition of "Don't Stop Me Now", even though he is like, at the top of his game and Queen could learn a thing or too about this type of enthusiasm.

2). Grocery Bingo: Make up a list of products and then try to find that product, except in a way you never thought was even possible. Like popcorn, so like finding Bacon Popcorn would check it off your card. You can  also look at finding the least/most expensive, or least/most healthy for you. This would probably even help with the actual shopping.

3). Hide and Go Seek: Grocery stores were made for this game, its like the aisles are a bunch of trenches and you are navigating the desolated landscape of dish detergents and pet products, hoping to get over to juices and sodas before the seeker finds you. It's intense, like really intense, especially if you bet the bill for the groceries on it...or your life.

Needless to say, I'm a champion

4). Shopping Cart Derby: This is by far, the best idea ever. Like, no joke, if someone tells you they have a better idea, they're lying or trying to hog all the fun to themselves. Because this is the best. You take a cart, load the front with something heavy for balance, and then you push push push until you gain speed and JUMP ON. You can rocket at like speeds EASILY exceeding 5 mph. Does Nascar do anything that awesome? NO, they do not. People try to claim this game isn't safe. Maybe for amateurs, but if you're a pro, you can do this whenever and wherever and always ALWAYS win.

 See? That is a demonstration of a pro in action. If you are too stunned, I am not surprised.

Besides things to do at the grocery market, I also think its wide array of goodies holds a special appeal. Like freeze pops. You know those? They're tubes of liquid sugar water? And Magic? SOOOO MUCH MAGIC.

I added action lines, because they're so intense.

They're so awesome. I spent an entire grocery trip explaining why we needed them, My mom was unconvinced. She has only delayed the inevitable, they will be mine.

Anyway, yeah, Grocery stores are pretty awesome. I'd love to like live in one. It would always be a nice temperature, bright, and I'd have plenty of food.
