Expecting Groceries

Getting groceries gets wild for soon-to-be dad Lester Quest.

One moment, he’s checking out; the next his beautiful and -very- pregnant wife, Madge Quest, is overcome with ravenous cravings.

He knows there isn’t much time before the check-out clerk loses his cool, but Lester insists on making his wife happy–at any cost.

This punny, super dad knows the clock is ticking.  Summoning his sacred “Dad Powers” he’ll dodge around grocery hazards to get whatever his beloved desires.

However, when the sample lady throws deadly shrimp, Lester has to decide what is more important: getting the goods, or staying alive?
