oh dear

Let me preface this story by saying I used to pride myself in the infrequency I fed my children fast food. Yes, now and then I'd pick up some nuggets on the way somewhere if they were absolutely starving, but more often than not I'd try to feed them something slightly more nutritious at home. Since I put forth some effort in this, I used to think my kids didn't really know what a fast-food restaurant was and definitely wouldn't expect anything if I pulled up to one. Yeah, all that pride went right out the window yesterday.

Yesterday, Malia, Kina and I picked Wayne up from school and we all drove home together. On the way home Wayne said he didn't feel good and wanted a strawberry milkshake. I kinda hesitated a little since it was such a random unplanned-in-the-budget request, but ultimately I gave in. We pulled into McDonald's and straight into the drive-thru line. Suddenly, from the back seat we hear Malia's happy voice, "THANK YOU MOMMY!!"

Oh dear.

Lol if it makes you feel better, Spencer recognized McDonald's before he even turned two. He yelled "fries!" every time he saw the big M. So I think you're doing pretty good! hahaha
