The old switcharoo

Mama and I were browsing the dairy section of the grocery store when a nice woman let mama know that some of the milks expire today and "be sure to check the date."  Mama said, "oh, thank you!" and proceeded to socialize like she has a tendency to do, and before I knew it she and her milk were walking off with the other woman's cart... leaving the two of us behind looking at each other thinking, "what do we do now?"  I'm not sure if mama would have ever even noticed, but the nice woman flagged her down before she got too far away.  Close one!
