My secret is out! I had hoped to keep it all a surprise until after the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics but Hadley blew my cover yesterday. We were shopping in Safeway when, in the middle of the cereal aisle, she started yelling “Moooommy, Mooooommy” whilst pointing.
Confused, I looked around until I spotted the focus of her attention. There, on the Frosted Flake box, was my smiling face. I had completely forgotten about that photo shoot a few months ago! Haddie grabbed the box, yelled “Mommy” again and then her focus turned to Tony the Tiger, who’s pointing at me in the picture. Still mesmerized, Haddie queried “Tigger?” as if to say “How could you not tell me you knew my friend Tigger?” I didn’t have the heart to tell her it was only his cousin.
Of course, I’m a little miffed they got got my name wrong on the box and put Lindsey Jacobellis’ instead. But Hadley was not fooled; she knew it was me. And, after all, children never lie, RIGHT?….
