A recent girls day out found us at the gas station on our way home. Inside, Isabel came across the donuts.
Now, Isabel has sworn off donuts, repeatedly. Declaring that they are too sugary, that they make her sick, and that she will never eat them again. After 2-3 weeks of steadfastness she will begin to encounter moments of weakness and donut cravings.
This day was no different. She saw those donuts and that was the end of all intelligent thought. She had to have a donut.
Being the total push over that I am I gave in after only a minute of debate and we proceeded to the check out and our soon to be yummy, journey home.
So, we are driving for like 20 minutes, all is quiet, everyone is happy, light music playing, no fighting.
All of the sudden I hear, "OH MAN!!!!"
Startled I call out, "What's wrong?"
And then I hear...
"Ohhhhhh (low moaning sounds) I just got carried away! I forgot that I shouldn't eat donuts and I ate this whole thing and now I am going to have a blood sugar crash and ohhhhh am I ever going to be good!?!?!"
Now, it is actually quite sad that she is this hard on herself, but as any kind and loving parent would do... I began to laugh hysterically. Seriously, what 5 year old thinks like that?
