The girl Gracie stayed up very late last night just hanging out with me. I knew that today around 3:00 it would be kicking me in the butt but it was quality mommy/daughter time anyway.
Well, it lasted until about 5:30 pm this evening when I called her in for dinner. The tears and dramatic interpretation of my "meanness" started. I managed to remain calm although I was pretty pooped out myself and explained it was more important to come in and have dinner with Daddy for his birthday than to keep playing outside. The look in her eyes was classic as she, I'm guessing, realized this to be true.
Then it happened...the words that I will probably never hear again in this lifetime...
"Mommy, I love you because you are my mommy and you are right. You are right about everything. I only know that you tell me things because they are right. You are always right !".
Why oh why didn't I have time to push the record button!!
