I went to the store yesterday and I noticed Häagen-Dazs was on sale, $2.99 a pint (or what passes for a pint nowadays). So I picked up Eva's favorite (Cookie Dough) and Jenn's favorite (Coffee), and started looking around for Ana's favorite (Dulce de Leche). They didn't have Dulce de Leche, and I wasn't sure of her second favorite, so I bought Salted Caramel.

Boy, was she pissed.

I determined that her second favorite was Cherry Vanilla and agreed to pick it up next time I went to the store, but did not agree to run to the corner store for same, as that would be much pricier.

Later she did try the ice cream - and called me up to apologize! Apparently, she likes that flavor an awful lot after all, she just didn't know that yet!

It's really mature of her to decide on her own to apologize for this sort of thing. She's not a little kid anymore.

Always so nice to see that one's efforts to bring up a thoughtful and polite human being have not been in vain!

LOL, kids labor under the delusion that their grown-ups are spoze to know/remember/care about all their preferences in food and clothing. The concept that one may have more important concerns than what somebody else's second-favorite flavor of ice cream is, simply does not occur to them.

Thanks for the links! ^^

One does tend to expect the omnipotent to be omniscient as well. ;-)
