Be Britney
Last night I arrived at DN2’s soccer game as just as the third quarter was ending. The following is our conversation:
DN2: Why are you so late, Mommy?
Me: I didn’t get off of work until almost 6:00, and then I had to take the dog out.
DN2: Well why didn’t you bring the dog with you?
Me: Because I can’t drive and hold onto the dog.
DN2: Be Britney.
Me: What?
DN2: You know, be like Britney Spears.
I’m still laughing.
