This morning I realised I had to make a trip out to the most treacherous Tesco. It had to be done even though I did not want to do it. I asked the children if either of them wanted to accompany me, knowing in advance what the answer would be. Sophie replied simply, "No thanks."
With Emma, however, nothing is simple. I heard her trudging up the stairs behind me, and this is what she said: I really appreciate you asking me, Mom. It's so kind of you, but I think I really want to just enjoy being a child right now, and I can't do that at Tesco.
I had to laugh.
