It started out with me going to the store to pickup a couple of things for dinner. While shopping I ended up getting more than I had originally planned for but hey, its food, I am sure we will eat it all. Yet I thought it would be a nice surprise to pickup a bottle of wine to go with dinner.
Although it may be acceptable to leave the children in the car for a minute during normal circumstances, the weather was extremely hot. It was in the high nineties and they didn’t deserve to sit in the heat even for a few minutes, so I brought them with.
The question came shortly after we entered the store.
Why are we here?
I said that we are quickly visiting the cooking store. This was good enough, until we got home. Mama saw us unpacking and asked what mischief we had been up to. My eldest was quick to say we went shopping and then we went to the cooking store. You could see from my wifes face that this didn’t quite register so she asked for more detail. My son who is a whiz with reading said the store was called “O’Brother Wine and Spirits”. This did answer the question for my wife, and reminded me that children may be either the best or the worst possible witnesses depending on your situation.
