Motherhood=Must Have High Self Esteem

Background Information: Cooper and I were reading a book on bobcats. He was trying to figure out how tall they were in 'real life.' I mentioned that they come to about my waist. The conversation went down from there . . .

Him: Well he could bite you in the stomach and then you would die.

Me: Wouldn't that be sad! You would miss me, right?

Him: Naaa . . . (face brightens with a HUGE smile) then I could play Xbox all day and do no school work!

Me: Who would make breakfast, lunch and dinner for you then?

Him: Me!

Me: What about giving you lots of kisses and tucking you in at night. Who would take you to your soccer games and help you clean your room each day. Come on, wouldn't you miss me?!

Him: (shrugs shoulders) Nah. I've still got Dad. He does good things with that stuff. Plus, he will buy me chips whenever I want!

Me: sulks away to like my wounds.
