Oh my goodness!
I was so shocked and thrilled when I logged into blogger today ~ my follower count had GROWN! I know, I know....a successful blog has hundreds or thousands
of followers {not 10} but for me it's an exponential increase and I'm excited!!
You've made my day.
Thank You!
Onto the Life Lesson portion of this post....
We had a very FULL weekend, which I promise to detail soon. But, because our weekend was so busy and the hubs and I were in a mad rush to leave the house on Friday, we tasked our oldest son with ordering pizza for dinner that night. The hubs gave our #1 the phone, the phone number and his credit card and explained that after ordering the pizza, #1 would need to give the pizza guy our credit card number to pay for the pizza.
Seems simple enough...
Well, I was racing around my room trying to finish getting ready when #1 strolled in holding the phone in one hand a credit card in the other.
Here's how the convo went:
#1 - "Mom, I need to give them the credit card number."
Me - "Ok, go ahead."
#1 - "I need the number."
Me - "You have the number, it's on the card."
#1 - "I know, but which number do I give them?"
Me - "The whole string of digits on the front of the card IS the number!"
#1 - Leaned toward me trying to pass off the phone and credit card.
Me - "Uh-Uh! Go ahead, you can do it. Start at the beginning and move through to the end."
He managed to accurately give the number because the pizza was delivered
and my kids ate dinner that night.
Oy! At least it's now official....our oldest son {who will be 15 soon} can order a pizza for delivery and pay with a credit card over the phone.
A life skill I'm certain will come in handy while he's in college.
Hugs!
Carrie
