Is not this the funniest story?! I just had to smile when I was reminded of it yesterday. Just picture how a "defective" cart must have made those grocery store employees chuckle.
President Monson told this at a General Young Women's meeting a few years ago. "To illustrate, may I share with you an experience which took place several years ago when Sister Monson had been hospitalized because of a fall. She asked me to go to the supermarket and purchase a few items. This was something I had not done before. I had a shopping list which included potatoes. I promptly found a grocery cart and placed a number of potatoes in it. I knew nothing of the plastic bags in which purchases are normally placed. As I moved the cart along, the potatoes fell out and onto the floor, exiting through two rather small openings in the back of the cart. A dutiful clerk hurried to my aid and called out, “Let me help you!” I tried to explain to her that my cart was defective. It was only then that I was told that all the carts had those two holes in the back and that they were meant for the legs of children."

we all have our funny days. The other day I was talking to my mom about what supplements I was taking for pregnancy. My mom interrupted me as I was telling her how I was eating cheese sticks for more calcium with, "You can take pills for that. I take calcium because I'm low in Iron"... sure mom.
Do you know what would make this post even better? Context, my dear sister, context.
