  • Let's Put Those Skills to (Better?) Use!


    A couple of weeks ago I was at Discount Tire with my husband and Jacey. My husband decided it'd be cool to run into a ditch and mess our front tire up. ..Men.

    Anyway, we're waiting forever to get our car fixed up. I expected this. There's never a time when Dicount Tire hasn't taken a million years to do what they gotta do. Can't blame them, really. They're busy people. (That's me giving the benefit of the doubt.)

    I let Jacey down to go play. It's a small store so I can keep an eye on her where ever she goes. And by an eye, I mean watching her like a hawk. There's none of that casual glancing up stuff going on when you got yourself a toddler running around. Especially when you have MY toddler. She likes to go make friends with everyone. This could mean going up and smiling at them to trying to get them to hold her. No one is gonna run off with my baby!

    My child has no fear and none of that shyness stuff going on. She sees a lady come in the door who has an unopened strawberry drink. The lady goes and sits down and Jacey goes over and stands in front of her. And starts staring at her drink. Of course. I nudge at my husband and say "Look...She's begging for that drink."

    Then the lady looks over to me and asks "Do you have something I can pour this in?" I say "....Yeah. But you don't have to give it to her." And she replied with "No. It's ok. I want to." I hand over Jacey's cup and the lady pours the drink in.

    Then my husband states, loudly and with wide eyes, "WE SHOULD TEACH HER TO DO THAT WITH MONEY!"
