I beg your pardon

muck_a_luckSmall Boy announced at 8:27am that he needed lunch money.
There was no cash in the house. I would have sent him to school with whatever boxed lunch I could slap together, but today's their big Thanksgiving lunch, and I felt like he shouldn't miss it.
So I stomped and cursed and yelled, and Small Boy whimpered and I was mean.
The bank was farther than the grocery store, so we went there, me grumping the whole way.
I got myself some juice and some chocolate and some breakfast treats, and still grumping, I got Small Boy a donut.
I told him that even though some people were naughty and should have told some other people about the fact that they needed lunch money last night, some people still couldn't help spoiling other people by buying them donuts when they didn't deserve it.
He gave me a weak little smile.
Then, in the car, he said, "Did you buy me a donut to make up for your attitude on the way here?"
I said, "No, I bought you a donut to tell you that even if you deserved my attitude I love you anyway."
*huffs*
