Groceries and husbands... hmmm?

Do any of you ever send your husbands to the grocery store? Kent has been doing our shopping for the last few months and I make him this detailed list, aisle by aisle, for the closest grocery store, of what we need, and I think it is hillarious how he interprets it so much differently than I do. I am finding out how he doesn't really pay attention to what I get at the store... ever!
Here are a few of my favorite interpretations that have shown up at our house...

My List: / His purchase:

Scooby snacks for Red / Scooby Doo Fruit snacks for the boys

Plain granola / smores flavored granola bars

Plain Yogurt / Every flavor of yogurt they make-he didn't know they made plain!

Mike and Ike Jellybeans / 1 small box of regular mike and ikes

Easter candy / Movie theater size box of mike and ikes and hot tamales (whose
kids eat hot tamales?) and 1 package of lifesaver hard candies-
the bag, not the roll, but still...

He also tends to buy about the most expensive item of whatever I ask for- he doesn't notice other brands or anything- for example, we are now consuming organic bananas. I am not anti organic, but I am anti 99 cents a pound for bananas! And I have learned that there are some things he just won't buy. You women that have had babies appreciate a post partum request for tucks pads. He looked quickly, got embarrassed, wouldn't ask, and came home without them. Yet, he did actually buy the Maxi pads, so I am very impressed with that. And the funny thing about the maxi pads? He said there were 3 other husbands on the aisle buying tampons and pads, and not a single woman in sight. I don't know if he was more embarrassed because he was seen by his peers or if he was comforted by the fact he wasn't the only male alive that has to visit that aisle!
He declared yesterday that he likes doing the grocery shopping for us- he likes to see all the different food that he didn't know you can get at the store. Maybe from now on we will go together!
Does anyone watch that show "here come the newlyweds"? They did a similar challenge last week where the men went to the store and the wives were on the phone with them describing what it was they were supposed to buy without actually naming it. It was really funny, especially given our current grocery shopping circumstances!

He has done such a great job taking care of us the last few months- thanks honey, for all your hard work. I love you!
