and I turned into a begger


Krew has been a fan of the trolley ever since our first ride. Needless to say, I promised him another ride especially since one of our cars is temporarily out of commission (since some not-so-nice person decided to saw off a piece of our car during the night). And of course I would plan our trolley ride on a super hot and humid day so we could walk to the station and sweat like little pigs. And of course I would get down to the trolley station and the trolley leaves while my child is loudly requesting a drink which to my dismay I realize I forgot sippy cups and water bottles at home. And of course while I am sweating and quickly shoving a dollar bill in the soda machine for a water bottle, I realized that they would be out of every beverage except Coca-Cola. (just don't ask me what I did here, k?). And wouldn't you know that when I go to the trolley ticket machine to buy a ticket that it doesn't take my type of card, I realize I left my Visa at home by the computer and also realize that I spent the last bit of cash on my son's poisonous thirst quencher. And thankfully, my pathetic begging around the trolley station worked and two kind men were able to lend give me a few dollars so we could make it on the next trolley. Which then I instagram a lovely photo of my son and I smiling on the trolley like it was no.big.deal. I think we'll wait a bit for our next ride.

i love this post, it made me laugh so much.

my instagram photos are kind of the same, looks really nice but what you don't see is the mess or the panic that probably went before.
