Chrome Context Menu Child Item functions launching all at once

I am building a chrome extension with context menus. See code below. It should work as follows: "Connect-It" context item is parent item and shows the two Child items (Add a Link, Add a Doc) in submenu when clicked/hovered. When a specific child item is clicked, a new tab opens a new URL. Instead, if either child item is clicked, both new URl's will open. Her is my code. How do I fix this?

// background.js

// Parent Level context menu item

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function() {
var id = chrome.contextMenus.create({
    id: "Connect-IT",  // Required for event pages
    title: "Connect-IT",
    contexts: ["all"],
  });

});

//  child level contextmenu items 

chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function() {
var id = chrome.contextMenus.create({
    id: "Add a Link", 
    parentId: "Connect-IT",
    title: "Add a Link",
    contexts: ["all"],  
 });

});


chrome.runtime.onInstalled.addListener(function() {
var id = chrome.contextMenus.create({
    id: "Add a Doc",  
    parentId: "Connect-IT",
    title: "Add a Doc",
    contexts: ["all"],  
 });

});

// click handler below.  This is what's broken.  If either Child Menu Item is clicked both of the function below execute
//     launching the two web pages.  If one menu item is clicked only the website with taht item shoudl launch.


chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function addLink(info){     menuItemId="Add a Link",
    chrome.tabs.create({url: "https://www.wufoo.com"});
})

chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function addDoc(info){  menuItemId="Add a Doc",
    chrome.tabs.create( {url: "https://www.google.com"});
})

just replace these two statements

chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function addLink(info){     menuItemId="Add a Link",
  chrome.tabs.create({url: "https://www.wufoo.com"});
})

chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function addDoc(info){  menuItemId="Add a Doc",
  chrome.tabs.create( {url: "https://www.google.com"});
})

with this single statement

chrome.contextMenus.onClicked.addListener(function(info, tabs){  
  if ( info.menuItemId === 'Add a Link' )
    chrome.tabs.create( {url: "https://www.google.com"});
  else 
    chrome.tabs.create({url: "https://www.wufoo.com"});
});
