Mome reads Mommy, My daughter's way to spell it when she was younger... It stuck. My son calls me Mome... just like it looks. I now sign all my notes to them "Love, Mome". It's our inside secret and makes them smile. I always want them to smile.

What Does He Want?

Tonight we had our monthly Girls Night In. Four of us Moms in the cul de sac get together for drinks, cooking, and food. It's VERY casual. We like to sear sweats to make room for all the food and drinks. As I was getting ready I happened to come downstairs and my darling 6 year old son says: "You look really nice Mom."
Me: "Oh, you mean because I curled my hair?"
Son: " Yes, and I like your clothes too."
Me: " These sweat pants and T-shirt?"
Son: (coming over and whispering in my ear) "If you were 19, I'd say you were HOT."
Me: "Hmm. Only 19 year olds can be hot?"
Son: "Oh. If you were 19, I wouldn't even be born yet...nevermind."

I just chuckled and went back upstairs to finish getting ready. When I came back down with my hair now pulled back in a pony tail, same sweat pants and T-shirt with an over sized sweatshirt over it...and a little make-up, my darling son comes up and whispers in my ear,"I don;t care how old you are, Mom, you're hot."

Awwww...

What does he want?

No matter. I'm pretty sure he'll be sitting pretty for the next week or so. How sweet was that?

  1. LOL, isn't it funny how suspicious we get when our kids say something nice?! ;p

  2. He's too sweet... and too young to want something more than a cookie. Wait till the teen years and he wants the car overnight! Enjoy it while you can.
