There I am at Whole Foods with my 3 kids and the cashier asks if we found everything okay. My 5 year old immediately says 'Yeah but we couldn't find the unicorn meat.' The entire line goes silent. The cashier looks confused. A lady behind us starts laughing. This is my life now and I'm not mad about it.
This is what I miss now that ours are older. The unfiltered honesty was embarrassing but also kind of hilarious. What did your 5 year old say?
Ha! The check lane ambush. My 5 year old asked the cashier at Target last week if the magazines were free because they were just sitting there. I wanted to disappear into the floor.
Oh man, I'm still learning how to navigate the grocery store with one baby, but I can already tell this is my future. The honesty of kids is both hilarious and terrifying.
Haha that's amazing. My son just learned to talk and I'm already dreading the moment he calls me out in public like that. Five year olds have zero filter.
This is gold. Three kids means triple the chances of getting mortified in the checkout line, I feel for you.
The 5 year old filter is real. I've learned to brace myself before any cashier interaction. Last week my kid announced loudly that we were buying ice cream because I promised it if she stopped complaining.
Haha yes, the checkout interrogation. My oldest once told the cashier we were buying so many snacks because mom said dad's not allowed to have fun. I wanted to disappear.
I feel this in my soul. With two kids the checkout line is basically a 10 minute negotiation about why we're not buying the candy. What did your 5 year old say?

This is peak parenting right here. Three kids in Whole Foods though? You're braver than me. I usually just do the quick Kroger run when my oldest is at school.
