yuh-huh.

First, get me a trolley that totals up my bill before the checkout... THEN talk to me about it tallying my calories too.

hahahaha triedit, I just had a vision of your solution: A gigantic hamster ball! Not only would it keep his l'il mitts off the stuff on the shelves, but you could throw it like a bowling ball to clear the aisles ahead of you. Yep, I think this could work.

My son loves to ride where my mom used to put the dog food. He lies on the bars at the very bottom. It has the added bonus of making people laugh. But, he did learn the hard way that fingers and wheels don't work well together.
