DS asked last night if we could go to FreshCo this morning. I looked at him and asked if he was crazy. I said sure if you want to go right at opening. I'm not standing in those lines later in the day.
His girlfriends Birthday and his are later this week and he wanted to get a cake. We are celebrating his birthday tonight and having strudels for dessert. (last minute change to get the birthday party in)
DH and I went and got the cake. We apparently had just missed the opening rush and the store was still well stocked and relatively empty. Came home and told him that we got the cake. Did he want to drive it over to his girlfriends? The cake wasn't for her afterall. He just wanted to have a birthday cake to put the candle in. My heart just melted. (here, all my 23 year old wanted was a cake and a candle and didn't want to put pressure on me to do it).
I told him I'll bake him a big cake later in the week (when it's actually his birthday) and that we'll get his favourite burgers in for dinner.
Remember to watch your kids (no matter what age). They are feeling all this too and only want a normal life to go on.
Aww, what a sweet kid.
This is a really helpful reminder. We’re all still people, and we’re all feeling the stress of this virus and the panic around it. Life might not be normal for the next little while, but we can all take care of each other a bit extra.
