Just Keep it Coming


My last post was a tutorial on how to get your kids to say you are the best mom ever...

I have another way.  I just learned this the other night.

Squire and Scribe sent me to town with $10.00.  "Can you go buy us some Wii points?  If you can't find them, make sure you ask someone where they are.  1000 Wii points cost $10.00, okay?"  Not knowing my way around an electronics department, I had to ask.  The helpful employee took me right to the cards and said they were now on clearance:  2000 Wii points were $15.00.

I called home to see if the boys wanted to spend an extra $5.00.  They were more than happy to, but were disappointed they hadn't sent me with enough  money.  They asked if I would pay the difference for them and they would repay me when I got home.  I told them that wasn't a problem, as long as they remembered to pay me back.

Scribe responded, "Oh, Thank you mom.  You are the best mom ever.   When you get home, I'm going to give you a big hug and big kiss."  I rushed home to cash in on my big hug and big kiss before he forgot...or changed his mind.

Twice in one week I've been told I'm the best mom, ever.  I think that makes me definite mother of the year material, don't you?
