At approximately 6:00 am. I was trying to get Lucas to lay down in our bed and fall back asleep but he was having none of it. We had the following conversation.
Lucas: Mama, do you love me when I hit?
Smiling Mama: Yes. I always love you.
Lucas: Do you love me when I'm muddy?
Smiling Mama: Yes.
Lucas: Do you love me when I jump?
Smiling Mama: Yes.
Lucas: Do you love me when I'm messy?
Smiling Mama: Yes.
Lucas: Do you love me when I laugh?
Smiling Mama: Yes.
Lucas: Do you love me when I yell?
Smiling Mama: Yes. Lucas: I always love you. I get sad when you hit or yell but I still love you.
Lucas: You always love me?
Smiling Mama: Yes. Always and forever.
Lucas: I love you forever, too.

ReplyDeleteAwww! That should be a kids book! I can see the illustrations in my head!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sue. That's the first thing I thought when I read this. Turn this into a children's book and you just made your millions. :)
ReplyDeleteUm...this IS a kid's book - a rather famous one, at that - called "Mama, Do You Love Me?" by Barbara M. Joossee. This is eerily similar to that book. A sample:
ReplyDelete"What if I stayed away and sang with the wolves and slept in a cave?
Then, Dear One, I would be very sad. But still, I would love you."
