Last night after a stressful evening searching frantically for a missing document, it was found to everyone's relief. What better way to celebrate than to have some cake.
I'd just put our 14 month old down for the night and came out of the room. I just wanted cake after the stress, but so I didn't set a horrible example, I ate a saucer size plate of dinner first. I sat down on the sofa with my husband, my daughter, my 'dinner', and a big slice of cheesecake with cherries on top (my ultimate favorite). My 10 year old sees my cake and wants some of the chocolate cake. (No, I don't usually have cake in the house but it was dessert from the Easter dinner I cooked the day before.)
I tell her she can have a small slice and begin to eat my mini dinner so I can have my big dessert. A couple minutes later she looks over and asks again if she can have cake. I said "I told you you could have a small slice". She says "I know", and pauses. I say "It's on the counter."
She says, "I thought you were gonna get it".
"Why would you think that?"
"Because that's what mommies do".
What have I done?
