Liquor store run

I was talking to my husband about making a wine run and Grace got excited to come with me.

Me: "Why don't you stay home with daddy?"

Grace: "No, I want to see if they moved the water."

Scott: "Moved the water?"

Me: "They have a waterfall feature in the store and since they've been remodeling it has moved around a few times."

Scott: "She might be a little too familiar with the liquor store."

I just shrug.

In the end, Grace winds up going with me to the liquor store.  When we get there we see that they have decorated for Mardi Gras and Valentine's Day. They hung flags from the ceiling for both holidays. Grace goes over to see if she can jump up and touch them. In a mintute Grace comes running back over.

Grace: "Mommy, Mommy look who's here!"

Me: "Who, baby?"

Grace (jumping up and down): "It's Mr. Brandon! It's Mr. Brandon!"

Mr. Brandon is the liquor store manager and yes, Grace knows him by name. At this point it is time to throw in the towel and concede to my husband's earlier point. 

Yes, ladies and gentlemen my reign as Mother of the Year is still secure.
