so on the way back from dinner at red lobster with my mom and headed to tim hortons on tecumseh just east of drouillard, we got to talking about how people wanted to make tobogganing illegal and how kids are losing reasons and ways to go outside and just play. when we pulled into the drive thru, we noted across the street two girls just happened to be tobogganing on what used to be known as suicide hill? anyways, without thinking. I asked the girl at drive thru to throw on two hot chocolates to our order figuring we would bring them over to the girls' parents and let them disperse the chocolat-y goodness. when we pulled up to the van we assumed held parents and I got out, the van was empty. I asked the girls (atop the hill) if their parents were in the van and they said they weren't. feeling a little creepy now with no adult to turn to, I left the hot chocolate for them and said they were welcome to it, to which they shook their heads longingly no (parenting win btw)..

when I got in the car, my mom pointed out how officially creepy we were and that we should have prepaid for the hot chocolates and let the girls go get them on their own. I am so, so, so.. so very sorry. hindsight is 20/ 20 and what I thought would qualify as a good deed for the day probably wigged ur kids out. admittedly, if ever the day comes when I have kids and they tell me a stranger at the park offered them hot chocolate, I'm taking my dog and a large blunt object to said park to find this person. total fail on my part.

so to the parents of the young girls who will probably be on their way home soon to report a strange lady with hot cocoa.. again. so sorry. u should however be very proud that when little sis deferred to big sister, she "no thank-you'd" the hot chocolate and stayed put atop the hill. I truly meant no harm but thought u would like to know that ur kids actually listen to what you say :)

my baddness.

sincerely,
the accidental fail lady who very much hopes there isn't an APB out for her arrest :$
