Rating: PG
Usually it was little things. 'Johnny, could you stop off and pick up a gallon of milk.' 'Hey Matchstick, we're out of beer.' 'Johnny, we've run out of sodium chloride.' 'What?' 'Table salt.' Simple errands he could do on the way home or something simple like dashing in to satisfy a junk food craving.
With Sue in her last month, helping out around the house wasn't so much an option as it was a necessity. They had been eating out a lot more often but now it seemed like they were out of everything. Coffee, eggs, bread, cereal, frozen pizza, chips and even those little fruit pies.
It was easy to say he was going grocery shopping but actually doing it was a lot more difficult. There had been a grocery list. He was almost certain of that and Johnny was pretty sure that he'd put it in his jacket pocket before he left. However, when he'd arrived at the store, it was nowhere to be found. He'd just have to wing it.
He was standing in the cereal isle contemplating the assortment of boxes. He'd gotten his cereal. That was easy bit. The hard part was remembering what boring healthy cereal that Sue was eating these days and which variety of Shredded Wheat Ben preferred.
"I knew I should have brought HERBIE." He frowned at the assortment of boxes.
There was no helping it. He'd have to grab a few different ones and hope he got lucky.
