Kerman, CA—Tomaz Wilson had an idea of what to expect when his wife asked him to take their son, Little Kevin, to the grocery store. It was like one solider asking another to jump on a grenade. Except Tomaz had a feeling this type of grenade can blast shrapnel for an hour or so. And all he was trying to accomplish, was to do his best to collect a bountiful harvest for his family. “I knew it would be hell, it always is with Little Kev, but I thought if I packed enough snacks I could make it through the trip to the store. Turns out that was a big mistake,” said Tomaz as he recalled the day’s events. Little did he know that his overconfidence would soon lead to an unprecedented meltdown from his 14-month-old, Little Kevin, with the power to melt any frozen foods section. Tomaz noticed a change in his son’s behavior at their local supermarket stating that, “I knew a fuse had been lit and the countdown was on as soon as his snack supply started running low. I was trying so hard to ration them, but it’s so hard to do when you’re looking for voluminous blackest black mascara for your wife. I mean, what’s the difference between black and the blackest black?” With his son’s snack rations running dangerously low and his grocery list sending him on a scavenger hunt spanning aisle to aisle, Tomaz had few options other than spouting empty threats to Kevin like, “if you don’t start behaving, I’m going to turn this cart around and you won’t get to watch Barney at all today!” In the end, Tomaz never found that mascara, but he did find out that taking Little Kevin on a venture to the grocery store isn’t something to take lightly. It requires a hefty supply of snacks and nerves of steel.
