Jail time
Today I made an impromptu lunch outing to McDonald’s on our way home from gymnastics. I didn’t want Lilah going in the play area in her socks or bare feet so I told her to keep her shoes on.
She had a very, very hard time with this.
She was about to go in and then she cameรย back to me.
“It says ‘No Shoes’. I can’t go in.”
“It’s not a big deal. Mommy says you can go in there with shoes.”
Then she whispers in my ear, “I don’t want you to go to jail.”
I chuckle a little and I reply, “I won’t go to jail. Only people who do really bad things go to jail.”
Luckily the play place police weren’t around, otherwise I may have gone to hamburger jail for having my girls break the no shoes allowed rule.
On a side note, the substitute who taught Lilah’s class just came by to drop something off and she just gave some wonderful compliments on how well behaved Lilah was, but also how impressed she was that Lilah read the word “trust” when she wrote it on the board and that Lilah was so smart and was answering a lot of questions. I love my good girl.รย She surprises us with words she knows. Last night we got some Greek and Latin root flash cards and she read ‘friendship’ in the back of one.

You’re lucky I didn’t show up, I would have taken you in for not letting your girls be kids with dirty stinky feet.
