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?
