many of the things that i share in my blog end up having a follow-up story. often i forget to share these with you and figure that i'll leave well enough alone. but this one, well, it's just too good to not share with you.
you may recall that my wonderful hubby has given up sweets for lent. you may recall how i micromanaged his explanation to ellie concerning the sacrifice he's making. and you may recall her little chat with daddy concerning the cookies.
the plot thickens.
today e had a play date at her friends house. she went after gymnastics, stayed for lunch and then was dropped off by her friend's mom in the early afternoon. i often become the neurotic mommy at these drop-off play dates because my sweet little e is the pickiest eater. i'm working on this, but gave the mom the heads up in case my girlie decided not to eat.
as any momma would, when my girl was returned home, i chatted with the mom to ensure that all had gone well. i wanted to be sure e had minded her manners, shared, and get a glimpse at what she had consumed for lunch.
the reply: well, she said she was "on a sacrifice" and had given up eating macaroni and cheese for Jesus.
hmmm... maybe we need to revisit this lent thing, but it's going to have to wait until i can make it through the conversation without laughing so hard.
