Max has a hard time taking naps so I lay with him to help him and we always have the most interesting conversations. Today he told me that he would "never, ever, ever" smoke, drink coffee, drink wine, drink Monster drink, or drink wine. Then he proceeded to tell me that people that drink or smoke those things make bad choices but that they are not bad guys and that he will "never, ever, ever" be a bad guy.
Shortly after this conversation he told me that I am the "Greatest Mommy in the whole wide world." I can only assume that he was just trying to put off his nap a little longer. He then told me that some mommy's are really mean. I then told him that most mommy's are pretty great though and this was his response. "Yeah, like Ben's mom. And Reeds mom too because she said that she is going to take him to McDonalds in a couple weeks."
There you have it, the measure of greatness. Take your kids to McDonalds and you will be considered a great mom. (I'm not sure how successful this would be with teenagers).
About Me
- Becky
- I started out as a daughter and sister. Then things progressed and suddenly I was also a young child and a friend. As I grew I became a teen who was boy crazy and also enjoyed singing and performing in musicals. For a brief time I was a college student and then a newlywed. I enjoyed working in the "real world" as a claims adjuster's assistant. Then out of nowhere I was suddenly grown up and taking on the most challenging role of my life, Mother of 4. Now the time has come for the role of daughter to join the main players at center stage with the additional of the title, "caregiver".
