I am a dumb mommy.
Today we had a long hot one, and the boys were really good on our outings. I told them that we would go to Micky D's and get a soda and a snack. When we pull up I ask what do they want to drink, and what snack they would like. They all said Dr. Pepper. I order. We get our stuff and pull away. Wes took his drink and nuggets. A minute later I hear him crying. I ask "what's wrong." He said "I told you sierra mist." I told him "I'm sorry I thought you said Dr. Pepper." "No, I said Sierra Mist." I ask, "do you like the Dr. Pepper?" "Yes," he says, "but I always get Sierra Mist." So, I say, "can you drink the dr. pepper since you like it?" He is still crying softly, trying very hard not to have a complete meltdown, doesn't drink the dr. pepper, THAT HE LIKES, and just weeps quietly for the rest of the ride home.
AHHHHH! Duh! I know he always gets Sierra Mist, or at least I should right? Why would he get anything different!? But I guess I just didin't get it. I really missed this one. Crap.

Carey, you're supposed to be telepathic, didn't you know that? Or have the hearing of Harrah.
I have stuff like that happen to me rather frequently and I'm never sure whether I should be upset that I missed something so basic or frustrated that I'm supposed to be superhuman and never make mistakes.
