A couple of weeks ago, my sister said her daughter, my niece, wanted me to chaperone at her field trip to the zoo that would be happening today. I didn't really want to, but I knew I had to, so I filled out the sheet saying I would go. So today, I got up at 6am and got in my car. While I was driving to the school, I was thinking, the last thing I want to do is guide a group of six years olds around a damn zoo, so when I got to the school, I drove around in the parking lot for a while, (maybe 5 minutes or so) and eventually, I just decided to leave and drive home. I drove back at 2pm to pick my niece up, that was the plan, I would take her home right afterwards. And of course, she wouldn't shut up for a few minutes, so I said. "If I take you to Cold stone and get you whatever you want, do you promise not to tel you're mom I didn't come?" She promised and I ended up buying her a huge bowl of icecream that she didn't finish, which had oreos, gummy worms, and some really sticky candy bar, so it's not like I was going to finish it.
