On Thursday, Joshua, Samantha and I went to a local Mommy and Me event in Rockville. It was at an outdoor shopping center. The different stores in the shopping center participate and have little activities or giveaways for the kiddies. (In the end, it was pretty lame and I am not going to go back to that event).
One of the stores is Hallmark. They were giving balloons to the kids right outside of the store. Of course, I grabbed a balloon for Joshua as he loves balloons. I also needed to buy some cards, so I went inside the store. I bought the cards I needed and walked out. As we are walking down the shopping center, I noticed that Joshua was holding a tealight candle. Ut oh. I didn't buy that for him. I grabbed the candle, walked back to the store and walked up to the woman standing at the outside handing out balloons. I handed her the candle, said I was "sorry" and walked away. It definitely could have been worse. Yet, I can't imagine a store wanting to press charges against a 2 year old.
This is not the first time and certainly not the last time I will be apologizing for my son's wrongdoing.
