"Mommy, I'm Going to a Meeting."

(continuing the trend of charming/embarrassing mis-statements regarding parental behavior)

Anna says this all the time now as we leave the apartment.
To an outside listener (say: any of our neighbors) you would think Anna is a regular at AA.

And this is my fault. What do you tell a child when you have to go for an appointment to get your hair cut, or to return an online purchase, or something similar and alone? I guess I knew she understood the concept of Daddy working and going to meetings, and when we were renovating I used to tell her I had to go to a meeting with the contractors, etc, so I suppose I have just continued using the same word.

But I've decided I need to 'fess up: life involves the occasional pedicure. I've got to let her know.
