So, we went to the mall today to do various errands. I had to stop by a store to check something out for the shower. While I was deciding on a purchase, I hear Addie squeal with delight. She comes running over to me and shoves the pink dragon Webkinz at me. Holy freakin crap, I am thinking. I have been looking for that stupid thing for literally MONTHS. No one had it. I have been laughed at by clerks, saying there is no chance in hell I will get one any time soon. It is all Addie has been asking for, like, FOREVER. So last month, I gave up the chase and caved. I actually bought it for twice the price at Amazon. When it arrived, I couldn't believe it was in my hands. And mostly, I couldn't believe I was one of those parents who get obsessed with trendy toys and go out of their way to buy them. But it didn't matter, I accept it. I mean - she loves that thing. Or so I thought.
Anyway, so there we were today, looking at the pink dragon. Addie pulls me over to the display and shows me they have more than one! She hugs two and wants to get them with her birthday money. I had to think. How would I explain that she will have one in one week on her birthday? I needed a moment.
Before I came up with an answer, she said, "Actually, I think I'll get the seal."
[Me, choking a little], "What?"
"Yeah, I think the pink dragon is over."
"But you love it, you've been looking for one for months! Are you SURE you want the seal?"
"Yup."
I am so screwed. When will I learn?
