In which it is time for Zen and the Art of Trying Things on in Front of Honest Toddlers

It’s been either snowing or pouring rain for about a month now so I finally bundled up the kids and took them to the mall. Just to get. out. of. the. house.

While there, I tried on a couple of things at Old Navy. I could probably do an entire blog post about Zen and the Art of Trying Things on in Tiny Dressing Rooms with Two Tinies and a Stroller. Because it was A.MAZ.ING.

But this is about honest toddlers. Drat them.

The place is surprisingly packed. Lots of other mothers with toddlers and babies and strollers. I guess we weren’t the only ones ready to get out today. Annie, Joe and I squeeeeeeze into the tiny dressing room together. I try on a corduroy short skirt and turn towards the mirror critically.

And Annie yells out “No, Mummy! You too big for that skirt! That’s an Annie skirt! You too big!”

The two dressing rooms next to me pause and start to snicker.

Thanks for noticing, small girl. Thanks for also informing the entire dressing room area at Old Navy.

Guess we won’t be getting that skirt, now will we?
