Selectively Mean Mom

Today Jess had dance rehearsal for about 3 hours. It was a little crazy. It was also during dinner time so she was sure she would starve right to death! To make it even worse, I had to pick up a few things at the grocery store on the way home. I told her before we went in that we would be eating at home tonight...don't howl for things. I broke down and let her pick out some ice cream for an after dinner treat. ( Like it really takes any persuading for me to buy ice cream! ) She started asking for things in the check out line. I told her no and no and no. She asked me how come I am such a mean mom. I always tell her because I practice. By the time we had gotten to the car she had forgotten about the lack of extra treats and was excited about having ice cream. I told her mean moms do not share ice cream. She told me I was only a mean Kit Kat mom, not a mean ice cream mom. It's a good thing she explained it to me or she wouldn't have gotten any!
