My husband was pushing the cart as fast as he could to leave the store before the situation got 42_______. Sweat was 43_______ on my forehead, caused in part by my embarrassment, but 44_______ from running through Trader Joe’s with 18-pound Arsema fastened to my chest and Mareto screaming behind me.
