Until ....
Dan's Grocery Store
became...
(now this is absolutely NOT something I can google image for you)
Dick's Grocery Store.
I can't go there now.
I shop at Albertson's.
Why?
I can't stand it when my kids say:
"Are we going to Dick's?"
"Mom, we're out of juice, you need to go to Dick's and get some more!"
"YAY! DICK'S."
"If I am good, can we get a toy at Dick's?"
The list of inappropriate sounding things goes on and on.
Sure, tell me I have a dirty mind. Maybe it' true.
But, I just can't shop there anymore.
Note to the owners of Dick's Grocery freaking Store: Maybe a less vulgar name? Richard's sounds fine to me. Think about it.

6 Brilliant Bits of Inspiration:
heh heh heh!
Our grocery store is "Crisp's". My kids call it "Chris Pusses"...It kind of makes me throw up a little every time they say it. I wish they'd change it to Dick's. That would make me giggle!!!
wait till the kids grow up and ask to buy balls and pads and racquet's at Dicks - the sports store :D
I'm with you...sometimes you just have to stand your ground, and not shop and pornographic-sounding stores. Seriously. Whoever changed that name is a total perv.
Ugh what a name. I have two suggestions. 1) Could you name it according to what you buy most often there? But I guess that only works with a 3 year old. Examples: Fairplay (yes, we have a grocery called Fairplay) is called "the strawberry store" because we bought a lot of strawberries there this summer. And Ultra Foods is called "the yogurt store" because they almost always have really good sales on yogurt. The Salvation Army is "the toy store," the dollar store is "the candy store," Trader Joes is "gorilla Joe" (because she finds the stuffed animal there).
My second suggestion would be to call it D's. Would you/your kids go for that?
Also, what do you do when you hate your kid's new Montessori school but your husband likes it and your kid seems okay with it? (sorry to ask a question with your blog)
We have 'the food lion'. What made them choose the lion? I think 'food weasel' or 'food hedgehog' would be a big improvement!
I second that statment, Richard's is much more family friendly! Ha ha, thanks for a good laugh :)
