      from
      the
      family's
      shopping
     
     
      escapade,
      displays
      the
      old
      way
      of
     
     
      thinking
      about
      men
      and
      women;

      designated
      to
      each

      Now
      don't
      get
      me
      wrong,
      I
     
     
      liked
      the
      book,
      it
      had
      the
      words
      ©
     
     
      "gimme"
      and
      "don't",
      it
      had
      an
     
     
      ample
      amount
      of
      whining
      for
     
     
      candy,
      kids
      running
      around
      the
     
     
      store,
      products
      being
      knocked
     
     
      over,
      and
      an
      angry
      grocery
      manag-
     
     
      er.
      With
      all
      of
      this
      came
      big,
      excit-
     
     
      ing,
      colourful,
      and
      often
      humorous
     
     
      drawings.
      There
      was
      little
      in
      the
     
     
      way
      of
      reading
      making
      it
      perfect
     
     
      for
      that
      back-to-school,
      back-to-
     
     
      the-books
      kick,
      but
      there
      was
      one
     
     
      thing
      that
      might
      cause
      despair,
     
     
      something
      that
      may
      bring
      terrible
     
     
      nightmares
      to
      your
      now-sexist
     
     
      children;
      how
      is
      Mommy
      going
      to
     
     
      get
      home
      with
      the
      three
      children,
      a
     
     
      cart
      full
      of
      groceries,
      a
      brand-new
     
     
      dress,
      and
      ice-cream
      cones’...
     
     
      Daddy's
      not
      there
      to
      drive
      for
     
     
      Mommy!
      Don't
      read
      this
      to
      your
     
     
      kids,
      it'll
      scare
      the
      shit
      right
      out
      of
     
     
      them,
      and
      that's
      messy.
