It's not often that I offer up to take one of the kids grocery shopping with me. On Monday's I am off early, so after Ellery got home from school (Cal was at G. Judy's) I asked if she wanted to go grocery shopping with me. You know an opportunity to put things into the cart that I normally wouldn't buy. Throw in the ice cream, cookies and juice boxes. Plus we are at Wal-mart and there are plenty of buying opportunities for an eight year to talk her mother into. Her response:
I think I would rather stay home and get my homework done.
One word describes that girl: OVERACHIEVER
I hope she always wants to do her homework without me having to ask, because I have a feeling Cal is going to be the exact opposite.
We did end up grocery shopping, I had to convince her she had plenty of time to do her homework once we got home.
And yes we ended up with ice cream, oreo sticks and numerous other goodies!!
