William and I headed to Kroger one afternoon after school. As I taking him out of the car, he tells me
Mom, my tummy is growling.
Okay, hon. I will fix you something to eat when we get home.
Actually, mom. I have a better idea. My tummy is growling for McDonald's (His eyes shift toward the "restaurant" across the street).
I start laughing.
Mom! You're making me feel stupid.
I'm sorry, William. I'm not trying to make you feel stupid.
I know you're a teacher. But, I am your son. And I'm four-and-a half. I was being serious. You shouldn't be laughing at me. That makes me feel stupid.
No, Mommy guilt did not prevail. Guess I won't be laughing next time. But, I won't be buying McDonald's either.
