A few weeks ago, I had an important investor phone call to take first thing in the morning. It was my day for drop-off and Kristin had a meeting that morning as well, so we had to scramble for options. We managed to find another parent that could take Annabel that morning, and we decided that I would take Gaby to early-care at 8:00 so that I could take my call at 8:30.
We arrived at the school around 8:15, and I opened up the passenger door and slid the backseat forward to let Gaby out of her child seat. Looking down at her, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"Where are your shoes?!" I asked, shocked and surprised to see her wearing nothing but her white socks.
"I forgot em".
"You forgot em?!"
She shrugged as she considered it. "I forgot em" she said.
So we had to go back home to get her shoes. What can you do? She forgot em. She's 5.
