Conversation in our house…
Me: I’m going to go to the grocery to pick up a few things. Need anything?
Husband: No, but why don’t you ask her (younger child) to go with you?
Me: Nope. I have to go to the pharmacy first, and I have to go inside. I can’t take her.

Husband: Why not?
Me: Make-up.
Husband: Ohhhh.
Husband: Just keep her away from that aisle.
Me: Have you met our daughter? It’s not like I can carry her out of the store.
Husband: Got it.
Me: I can’t take her inside because not only will I have to pay for my stuff, I’ll suddenly have $40 in Makeup supplies. And I have to go to the pharmacy first because I’m getting cold stuff at the grocery, and it’ll melt. Can’t use drive-thru because it’s OTC.
Husband: I heard the upstairs floor creak. You’d better run.
So, yes. I have to sneak away from my 21-year-old daughter to go to a Drugstore because she adores makeup.
