Ahhh! We just let our nine year old son walk to the corner store for milk! His idea entirely.

He’s got his sneakers on, the money, his Dad’s phone, a mopey little sister, and a game plan.

“Why can’t I go too?” she moans morosely.

“Cuz’ you’re six!” Plain and simple. Sorry toots. But here’s a hug from your (considerably older) brother, who is not going to be saddled with responsibility for another person on his first voyage.

A hug…

And he’s out. 

In fact, I’m writing this post to assuage my nervous energy while he’s gone, and he just *called* me with an update!

“Hi Mom, I just wanted to call and let you know how it went. Everything went fine. I got the milk. You were right they didn’t have lactaid. I have the change, and I’m on my way back!”

And hell ya, here he is:

Phew!

OK, existential bullet dodged.

Let’s never try THAT again.

Miright?

Wait;

Who said anything about candy?

Well;

I guess if you’re going to share with your sister…

Anyway, looks like we survived this harrowing ordeal. Thank goodness this is all behind us now.

Right?
