Leading by example

It is no secret that I LOVE Diet Coke. I mean, if given the choice between water and Diet Coke, I'm probably always going to take the latter. I didn't know it was that evident to my girls until today. On the way to school, I decided to do a little safety teaching with Annie. Fire safety, stop-drop-and roll, 911, if Mommy can't talk and is lying on the floor, stranger safety, etc. We discussed, for example, if an adult comes up to you on the playground and says, "Hi, I've got lots of candy in my car. Would you like some?" She gave the appropriate response and then nailed me in the process. "Mom, what if a kid came up to you and said "I've got lots of Diet Coke in my car. Would you like some?" What could I say? I should be leading by example. :)

That's too funny! I ordered water at lunch the other day and Pearson argued with me that I wanted Diet Coke. We may both have a problem!!
