(Quick! Name the movie I got that title from!)
Update:
Remember how bummed out I was that my kids failed to retain the true lesson behind our little tootsie roll project?
Just now, I was cruising around on my blog and Jeigh walked up beside me. She pointed to the picture of Abraham Lincoln and states, "That guy was a great man. The best man in America."
GASP! By golly! I think she's got it!
Me: That's right, Jeigh! Do you remember his name?
Jeigh: ...pause...pause...pause...Umm...Callahan Lincoln.
That's close enough!!
{sigh} It's these moments that make being a mom the best job there is! I mean, come on! Who else gets to "work" with chocolate and reap the even sweeter rewards later?
I know I know I know!!!!
ReplyDeleteHarry says it to Lloyd in Dumb and Dumber!
"Lloyd, just when I think you can't do anything more stupid...you go and do something like this. And TOTALLY redeem yourself!!"
HAHAHAHA!
Best movie ever.
Do I get a boobie prize??
What an awesome mommy moment! :) Congrats to you as a terrific mom!!!
ReplyDeleteGood job, Jeigh!!! I just want to cry when those moments happen, and proclaim: "You DO listen to me!!!"
ReplyDeleteLove those moments when the give you a glimmer of home that they actually do listen to what we have to say :)
