Mom guiltism #6: Sometimes I just agree with an incorrect statement out of my child just so I don't have to explain.
For example, Caden asked where I got his new shoes.
Me: I got them at Kohl's.
Caden: Is that where you got my flip-flops?
Me: No, those came from Old Navy.
Caden: So did you go to the mall? So you could get my shoes at Kohl's and my flip-flops from, what was the other name?
Me: "Old Navy?"
Caden: Yeah...Old Navy?
Now...I could've taken the time to explain to Caden that neither of those stores are at the mall nor are they exactly close to each other. I could've also explained to him that the two pairs of shoes were purchased on separate days--months apart. But at 6:45 in the morning, it seemed like a lot of effort for really no purpose. I am not even sure why Caden asked where his shoes came from. So, since it was not vital information that really did not impact his life in any way....
Yes, Caden. I went to the mall and got your shoes and flip-flops.
