In the big, bright SuperFun Grocery Store, little Joey skipped along beside his mother, mesmerized by the rainbow of colors around him. He was surrounded by Fun fruity cereals and fruit roll ups that “Mumma never let’s us buy!”
But then, something amazing caught his eye in Aisle 3 - the biggest, shiniest apple he had ever seen!
Joey reached for the apple, but when he turned around, Mumma was gone! "Where's Mumma!?" he wondered, his eyes as wide as saucers.
Joey zipped through Aisle 4, passing a tower of wobbly canned beans and a giggling grocer. "Have you seen Mumma?" he asked the laughing lettuce.
In Aisle 5, Joey met Mr. Bread, who was wearing a hat made of baguettes. "No Mumma here, but have a breadstick for your journey!" Mr. Bread said cheerily.
Aisle 6 was filled with singing fish at the fish counter. "Seen Mumma?" Joey asked. "Nope, just fish here!" bubbled the friendly fish.
In Aisle 7, Joey found himself in a jungle of toilet paper rolls. "MUMMA!?" he called, as a toilet paper roll tower tumbled down with a funny plop.
Joey scootered down Aisle 8, where a lady offered him a cheese sample. "Yum, but no Mumma," he said, nibbling thoughtfully.
Aisle 9 was Snack Paradise, but Mumma wasn't there. Joey asked a box of crackers, but it just crunched in reply.
In Aisle 10, Joey found a mirror and saw his own worried face. "Mumma has to be here somewhere," he said to his reflection.
Suddenly, Joey remembered the checkout line! He raced his cart, dodging a runaway melon rolling down Aisle 11.
There she was! Mumma was at the register, he gave her a HUGE hug, but then mumma gasped “oh no! I forgot the milk!” Joey started sweating as the cashier started scanning items.
Joey stood at the register, his heart racing. "What if Mumma doesn't come back in time?" he fretted, watching the groceries piling up.
Just as the cashier scanned the last item, Mumma zoomed back, milk in hand. "I made it!" she exclaimed, out of breath but smiling.
Joey hugged Mumma tight. "I found you!" he said. Mumma chuckled, "And I found the milk. We make a great team, don't we?"
