The birthday girl came home from an all-nighter to change clothes and get her stuff before heading to school to take a math test. We nudged her into the kitchen to check out her cupcakes and she giggled.
And then she said… “How did you know I love chocolate cupcakes with white icing?”
Errr I have been this child’s mother for 18 full years and I have baked her so many batches of cupcakes for birthdays and other events that it would be impossible for me to NOT know that this is the only kind of cupcake that Michelle likes.
Kids are clueless.
And then she grabbed a cupcake to take with her to school, as I knew she would.
“How did you know…” The same way you know what flavor koolaid she likes, the same way you know what toothpaste to buy, the same way you knew what stuffed animal was required (as well as which ones were optional). Kids… They will understand one day.
After 18 years, I hope you’d know. 😉
Happy 18th birthday!
Happy, Happy Birthday sweet Michelle. If she’s surprised that you knew her favorite cupcakes after all these years…just think how you could ‘blow her away’ with all the other things you know about her. BTW…those cupcakes look yummy…..one of my all-time favorites. You’re my kind of Mom Denise….
Happy belated Birthday. I love the cupcakes. Of course we know, we know so much more than they think we do.
