Today is share day at pre-school. (read=modern show-and-tell). Wednesdays are the one day each week when the kids bring a special item, based on the theme for the week, to "share" with their friends. This week's theme is "the letter E".
So I'm driving to school with the girls when it occurs to me- Ohmigod! Today is share day. Totally forgot. Think. Letter E....do I have anything with the Letter E? Have nothing. Worst. Mom. Ever.
Start trying to explain to Addison - "well honey, today is Share Day and Mommy forgot to have us find something to bring."
silence from the backseat.
"mommy is so sorry, Addison."
silence.
Addison -"what is today's theme?"
Me - "theme? The letter E."
Addison - "oh." (can you hear her heart breaking?)
Addison - "maybe we could bring my Elmo flashlight?"
Me - "why yes we do have the Elmo flashlight in the frontseat." daughter is brilliant! Amazed that she remembered that the Elmo flashlight I took away during Monday's temper-tantrum was still in the car.
Share day not disaster. Mommy status up-graded to "good enough."
