God Must Laugh

The munchkin wants so badly to help, and so I give him the handle of a grocery bag, and he holds on with all his might. Of course he doesn’t know that I’m the one carrying the full weight and that I could actually move much faster if he weren’t “helping”. In fact, even just holding on is too hard for him after awhile. Then I’m not only holding the bag, I’m also lifting the weight of his arm, eventually lifting him bodily into my arms. But still he’s clutching that bag, helping for all he’s worth.
