The Gentleman Prefers Blonds


Me: Do you think I'm pretty?

Him: Yes.

Me: Is there anyone prettier than me?

Him: Kendra.

Me: Is there anyone prettier than Kendra?

Him: Jacob!

Me: Jacob!?

Him: No, I'm just kidding.

Me: So Kendra is the prettiest, but I'm next prettiest, right?

Him: Yes. Who else is pretty?

Me: I don't know. That's for you to say. You tell me.

Him: Audrey's mom.

Me: I'm going to tell Kendra you said she's pretty.

Him: Tell Audrey's mom too.

Sweet Moment

Walking towards the car at school. Nathaniel stops and says, "I broke your red flower and I am so very sorry."
.
I kneel down and ask him what he's talking about, had he made me a flower at school or something, what red flower did he mean?
.
"No," he said. "I picked it from the garden on the playground but then I broke it on the trike."
.
I gave him a hug and said, "Oh, honey, I love it that you thought of me today and picked me a flower and you know what? That's just as good as if you gave it to me. It doesn't matter that it broke."
.
He paused and thought for a moment, then walked over to a dandelion, picked it and handed it to me.
.
Warms a mommy's heart.
