Just finished a massive grocery trip because we will be leaving the girls at home with my inlaws this week while at a wedding. Get done ringing it allll up and know immediately that my credit card is in the car. Dang!
Leave the basket, but have to take the children. I am now carrying two 30 pound toddlers to the car. They are in an awkward phase where they are still not quite safe to hold your hand and walk. Put them down. Open the door. Look behind me and both and laying flat on their backs yelling "poo poo" in the middle of the parking lot. They won't get up. They are demanding clean diapers and I am for real stumped. Cars driving around us. So NO exaggeration I have to pick up one and drag the other screaming and yelling "mamaaaaaaa poooo poooo" all the way back in. Get in. Sweating. Put them screaming back into the cart. Apologize to the line that has formed and pay for the groceries. People either looking at me with pity or rolling their eyes. And side note, the eye rollers are almost always 20ish girls, dressed perfectly, likely just on a quick lunch break. I just laugh on the inside. They have no idea what is coming for them!
Anyway, I guess moms just can't afford seemingly simple mistakes like leaving a credit card in the car. It can and usually will spiral into something worse!!
Hope this gave everyone a good Tuesday afternoon laugh!

Poor thing!! At least the rest of us get to be entertained by your saga - way to take one for the team! A lot of us have been there with the embarrassing fits, although mostly not in "stereo." I was THE WORST 20-something-year-old about other people's kids. My inner mantra (accompanied by eye roll) was, "MY child would never be permitted to act like THAT!" Uh huh ... God sent me a life lesson in the form of a redheaded wild child to bring me to my knees real quick! Thanks for sharing your adventure.
