Although when we had to, we made sure they were fed and rested so we at least had a chance of coming out the other end with our sanity reasonably intact. :) The youngest, though, is still a pain at eleven -- and of course, he LOVES to go shopping with us, grrr. But that's only groceries and stuff. The mall? With kids? No freaking way!!! We used to do everything in our power to avoid taking small kids with us when we went shopping (God bless grandmas!).

Or rather, an ANTI- marketing phenomenon, since a customer experience SB isn't terribly likely to buy anything. I just want everything to be easy. Really, is that too much to ask? ;-) Apparently, shelf blur is a recognized marketing phenomenon.
