Where's the love?


A few days ago, H and C were in the back row of the mom-mobile with their little bro, when they began to discuss who and what they loved. The list went on and on (in no particular order):



  • Grammie

  • Grampy
  • Opa
  • Oma
  • Tante Beate
  • Onkel Axel

  • Auntie

  • Uncle Larry

  • Kellie

  • Mu-kel

  • Ellen

  • Stevie

  • Kaitlin

  • Janice

  • Brother

  • Mrs. Cindy

  • Ms. Erica

  • Dolly

  • Elmo

  • Tinkerbell

  • Dora

  • Strawberry Shortcake

  • Ribbit (Kermit)

  • Doggie (Clifford)

  • Playdoh

  • Crayons

  • Puzzles

Well, you get the point. Suddenly, the back row became extremely quiet. H said, "I love Mama." C looked at her and said, "I love Papa." At a stop light, I looked into the rear view mirror to see H wrinkle up her nose and say, "No, (shaking head) I love Mama. Not Papa." C now followed suit and said, "Well I love Papa," again wrinkling the nose and shaking the head, "I don't love Mama."



What? Wait? What did she just say? Did I not have the worst pain in my entire life and the worst experience of my life having this child, and she does not love me? I am lower than Playdoh?



Where is the love?
