Now, in big news of the day: Lauren went grocery shopping!

OK, actually she has this analogy of shopping carts to people, check it out:

Steimle ♥’s Wright.: Aren’t We All?

I just have one question: which kind of shopping cart am I?

Further, do we reject people because they look funny just like we do shopping carts? Or my favorite that I am guilty of is rejecting something because it has a piece of trash or something left in it. It’s dirty, it can’t be a good cart. After the search for a great looking cart, do we find that there is something wrong beneath the surface - like a squeaky or dumb wheel? We did it to our-self though I guess. The “dirty” cart probably was in perfect condition and all it would have taken was for me to throw away the flier that was left inside.

On that last matter though… Have you ever considered how dirty a shopping cart really is? I mean, do they ever get cleaned or sanitized? Let’s track this a bit farther. I touch the cart which has never been cleaned (we won’t even examine where it has been), then pick something up and put it in the cart. When I’m done shopping, I push the cart to my car and unload everything. I then get in my car. I’ve now touched many parts of my car as well as all the boxes of stuff I just bought and they are all contaminated.
