Yeah, who plans so badly that the only time to give your kid a sandwich is when they’re trapped in a shopping cart?
She should realize Americans are meant to eat in the car...

LOL! While texting and applying mascara, too! ;)

LOL, it goes well in the car with the cell phone, while text messaging/s

....Almost all women know taking a toddler to the grocery store is asking for trouble, because they want to take things off the shelves and put them in cart! Keeping a child in cart is safest way to protect that from happening. Some children are climbers, and will get out, when your back is turned.

Maybe, a peanut butter sandwich was wrong choice, however it would not be misunderstood that she opened a bag from the store without paying. My thoughts would be a small bag of snacks that she could get out of a zip lock bag...depending on child’s age.

People should learn to mind their own business, as long as child abuse or something bad (like Kidnapping) isn’t happening. Liberals have a problem with butting out!

LOLs! Every once in awhile I clear the food wrappers and paper cups out of the back seat. I refer to this as "cleaning the dining room."

Yyyeahhh...

...we trashed a couple of vehicles allowing that.

My gradnfather had the right idea; you didn’t eat ANYTHING in his car. NOT A MORSEL. Gum was OUT. A dinner mint or cough drop would get you the hairy eyeball, but you’d be allowed in so long as the little wrapper got out when you did.

The family van we got in 2011 has been a NO EATING ZONE, and I’ve found there are aspects of the whole food in the car thing that I really DON’T miss:
The van DOESN’T reek of oils emanating from 7 years of finger food ground into the carpet and going rancid.
There aren’t grease stains on the cloth seats.
The seat belts bear no sheen evidencing their prolonged abuse as handier-than-the-paper-one-in-my-lap napkins.
There isn’t one of those little green tree thingies dangling from the rearview mirror to curb the stench.

I think if I bought one, I’d find it down the block hitching a ride to The Haight for lack of anything constructive to do at my place.

Having cars that aren’t crumb-laden, and strewn with used food wrappers is SUCH a great feeling.
