So, I had to make a quick dessert option the other night for company. I had a mix with water package of cookies. They already had egg in them. So I made them. I also made egg free shortbread cookies for all the kids to eat and decorate(since Chloe is allergic). Everything was fine. She even asked me for one of the other cookies, and I told her they had egg. No biggie.
So the next night we were getting the kids ready for bed. We were all SO tired. L&A driving me crazy in the kitchen, and Fred said he thought they were hungry. So I threw them in their chairs and gave them the "egg" cookies. They are not allergic. But since I usually give all my kids the same stuff, we just usually don't have stuff like that with egg in the house. So Chloe had already had a "sugary" snack. She wanted something else now. I told her fruit. So she saw the girls eating the cookies. She didn't ask for a cookie. She looked at me and said, "Do those have egg?" I said, "yes." Tears whelped up...she said, "They are not allergic!" I said, "No. But you already got to have candy. You can have fruit." She RAN into the bathroom and laid down on the floor...crying "But why am I allergic! Why am I allergic! I don't want to be allergic!" Can you just say...stab me 1000 times and it would have hurt me less! I went in there and told her I just read an article in the hospital magazine (which I had) that said lots of kids are allergic to egg, milk and peanuts! You are not allergic to milk! And it also said lots of kids are not allergic once they get older! She said, "Like Megan?"(this is her favorite little friend at school's 6 year old sister...anyone older is in relation to her now!) I said yes! So then she cried again. So before it was all said and done I offered her a Popsicle, jelly beans and who knows what else!
I am going to be in for a lot of heart aches....this is small potatoes compared to the 16 year old boy who is going to dump her that I will have to hunt down and smack! Or the team she doesn't make but everyone else does and I am going to have to take her to buy anything she wants! Don't forget the college that rejects her, even thought she doesn't want to go there. We will have to just talk about how it really wasn't a great school anyway!
Lord HELP me:)
Have a good one!
