My five year old was trying on an attitude for size. I got down to his level and looked him right in the eye.
"Listen, mister. I carried you in my stomach for nine months. I fed you, changed your diapers, and rocked you to sleep. You WILL be respectful!"
He looked up at me and saluted. "Yes, Sir Commander!"
That's more like it!
I nodded in satisfaction at him. "At ease, soldier!"
My son is funny. He loves to give me zerberts all over my face and arms. My husband says this is a boy's way of showing love.
I asked, "Is it also showing love when he burps in my ear?"
My husband nodded. "Definitely."
So the next time Ryan blew a large, noisy zerbert on my forehead, instead of wiping it off, I said, "I love you too, Ry!"
