Thom has Sporthalle (gym) on Tuesday mornings, and the kids are disincentivized to take their backpacks to the gym. I usually take Thom’s bag and go with Vinnie to the school building.
The last two Tuesdays, I couldn’t since Errol was away. My solution was to put Thom’s incredibly heavy backpack in my grocery hand cart, and Vinnie drag it to school from their tram stop. The horror on her face! “We usually just see old ladies with those.” They’re right. I have since noticed that they’re not a trendy accessory. But, it’s incredibly helpful when you purchase lots of liquids from the grocery. Vinnie was forced to get over herself and took my hand cart to school the last two Tuesdays. Today I took my appreciation for the hand cart to a new level. It’s perfect when you have to leave your bike in town and grab groceries on the way home! No doubt, Vinnie would have been proud.
