While talking to the customs border guard...
Guard- what are you doing across the border today
Me- just groceries, gas and picking up mail
Guard-all by yourselves with two kids. (he said it with pity in his voice )
Me-yup
Guard-you're not working today?
Me-nope I'm just a mom
Guard-(gets stern look on his face ) don't ever say you are just a mom. You work harder then anyone even me.
Me-ya...it's busy (I say frazzled)
Guard-have a good day
Me-merry Christmas! ( I'm trying to say merry Christmas to everyone I see even if the situation is awkward like this one)
He was sooo sweet and it was great hearing someone appreciate the work of moms it was just shocking to have him get genuinely upset.
