Ask:
My MOMS Club hosted a Mothers' Day luncheon today. The President of the club had contacted Scott and asked him to participate in a special presentation they organized for the members of the group. She had asked him (and the boys) to prepare a small poem, letter or craft that would be presented to me with a rose at the meeting.
The home work was "what makes our Mom so special?"
Scott wrote a beautiful letter to me thanking me for well...for being me....and then included this conversation he had with the boys to the end of it. I had to share it, because it made me both laugh and cry. I just love the innocence of children!
Here is what he wrote: (word for word)
Dad: "So Zach, what makes mom so special to you?"
Zach: (giggles) "Um.....because I love her"
Dad: "O.K....well, why do you love her?"
Zach: (more giggles) "I don't know!?!? Because I do!"
Dad: "alright, what kinds of things do you like to do with mom?"
Zach: "Um....go places"
Dad: "Well, where are your favorite places to go with mom?"
Zach: "The base gym! And, your work....um, and the park."
Dad: "Is there anything you like to do for mom?"
Zach: "Um, I like to pick flowers (aka dandelions)....in the back yard. But they have ants on them so I need to let the ants get off the flowers first.....but there are lots of flowers back there and they are growing really big!"
Dad: "So I guess I should take care of the weeds then?"
Zach: "Um....I like to pick the flowers!"
Dad: "Ty, why do you like mommy?"
Ty: (staring at dad with the big steely, blue-grey eyes and sucking on his soop aka pacifier)
Dad: (taking the soop out of his mouth) "Ty, why do you love mommy?"
Ty: "Hey....soop! Give me that back!"
The moral of the story: don't mess with a kids' soop!
