Mom Night Out
Some friends and I set aside a night for dinner out, and left the kids home with the husbands. What a luxury it was to eat good food prepared by someone else, uninterrupted, and at a leisurely pace. When it came time to pay the bill, I offered to put it on my card to simplify things. One friend wrote me a check (because this is MN, where we write checks for everything), but another realized she’d forgotten her checkbook, and had no cash.
“Would you accept a Target gift card?” she asked, holding out what she did have in her wallet.
I laughed and said yes. Moms are nothing if not adaptable.
