dumb mama moment

We were in the middle of the grocery store today. Walking down an aisle. After a long day of work. Yes! On a Sunday! When a thought occurs to me. I spoke with my mom last night and she told me that she had to put down her 18 year old cat. It was just time.

So I am in the grocery store with Ladybug after she has spent 9-5 in my office coloring and watching movies while I make a feeble attempt to catch up with some work, and I casually tell her that Alana died yesterday.

Really? How stupid could I be?

Yes, she burst into tears. I held her. Rocked her. As she wailed and cried that a part of her family had died.

Location. Location. Location.

  1. At least you didn't tell her grandma killed the cat!

  2. Good point. I was smart enough to not say that. Even though that is what technically happened.
