Not Me!

Not Me... Friday? Maybe it will catch on.

I would never put on shoes on Alex without socks because he had no clean socks, and then buy him a 75cent pair of socks at the store.

I would never tell Kristen she could have two braids in her hair when her hair was wet, but when her hair was dry she could only have one braid.

I would never argue with a two and a half year old about whether or not the strange rise he saw in the distance was train tracks, and then let him win because I wanted him to stop talking about it and I didn't care if he learned they were in fact not train tracks.

Speaking of train tracks, I would never take a different route home just so I didn't have to hear "Train tracks, Mom, LOOK TRAIN TRACKS! Over THERE!! LOOK TRAIN TRACKS!!!"

And I would never turn the radio up so loud just to drown out such an outburst.

I also would never speed down Wadsworth just to get to the train crossing in time to see the freight train passing through.

I would never tell Kristen that the McDonald's playplace was closed all day because they were cleaning it, and then force her to sit through a lunch at Panera Bread instead.

I would never let my children have cookies with breakfast.
