The Best Mommy

Conversation with Madeleine last night at bed


MADELEINE: I love you, Mommy!  You're the BEST Mommy in the whole world!
ME: Well, I don't think I'm the best in the world, but thank you.
MADELEINE: You ARE!
ME: I'm okay, but I don't think I'm the best mommy in the entire world.
MADELEINE: You ARE.  TRUST me.  I've MET other mommies.
ME: Oh yeah?  And what's so different?
MADELEINE: Other mommies, like, make their kids STAY at the table when they're done, and other mommies buy, like, only really really super duper HEALTHY food instead of the kinds of snacks WE have.


So I'm the best mommy in the world because I don't enforce my children's table manners and I buy them lots of junk food?  Sounds pretty award-worthy to me!
