Fail!

Apparently I am failing as a Mom...

Every time I make a mistake which embarrasses my teenage daughter, she announces "fail"!

For example, while paying for my purchases the other day, I whipped out my credit card and slid it through the machine. It would not accept my card. After trying a couple of times, the cashier said she would try through the cash register. After sliding the it through, she looks down at my card and hands it back to me.

"We can't accept grocery cards" she announces.

I look down at my card and realize I had handed her my supermarket rewards card instead of my credit card.

"Fail!" announces my daughter.

Arriving home, she can't wait to share the story with her brother.

"Fail!" she announces again.

"You know, that's not good for my self esteem!" I retort.

So I had a Mommy moment at the store. So I embarrassed her (yet again).

"It's all your fault anyway. The both of you are sucking my brain cells right out of my head!" I tell them!

Then again, maybe I am passing as a Mom. Don't teenagers think everything their parents do is embarrassing?!!!!
