Being a parent requires creativity and thinking on your feet, and a young Mom I know displayed both with impeccable style the other day. She told me that her daughter wanted to eat at Wendy's. It didn't fit in with the day's plans, so the Mom replied, without missing a beat, "We can't. It's closed. Meteor shower."
This made perfect sense to her daughter, who is a smart little girl: better to close the restaurant than to risk having customers get hit by meteors!
Right, agreed her mother with a completely straight face. Although it was very unlikely to happen, better to play it safe.
