Has anyone else had the experience of prattling to an empty grocery cart
after the child has started school?  "Oh, let's see.  Why don't we get some
of these peas?  Boy, these peas are *cold*!  One bag or two?"  I didn't
realize I was doing it until I noticed the strange looks I was getting.
Sort of like doing "the baby dance" in the checkout line because the baby
two lines over is crying...
