A Gift of Love

My youngest daughter, who hasn't read my blog about peanut M&Ms and is the one who kept precise count of her loot, just let me pick any candy at all from her bag!

"Which one should I take?" I asked.

"Any that you want."

"Any?"

"Sure!"

I pulled out a Kit-Kat and a golden package of peanut M&Ms. "Which one of these should I take?"

"Whichever one you like best."

"Do you like one of them better?"

She indicated she kind of liked Kit-Kats better.

"Cool!" I said. "I'll take the M&Ms. Thank you. Thank you very much!"

"It's because you're such a great mom," she said.

Ohhhh.....what a sweetheart.

This doesn't happen very often, people. After such an outstanding display of generosity and love, I almost want to keep the M&Ms as a cherished reminder of this rare and precious moment in the history of my parenting.







Naaaahhhh......


(I can always keep the empty package.)
