    Thing Two loves her momma!!
























    I know you can't read ALL the things she loves about me, so a transcription is included.



























    "Dear Mom,
    This is the list of things I love about you
    1 you love us back
    2 sometimes you make dinner
    3 you buy us treats
    4 you let us stay up until 8:30
    5 you don't get too cranky during exams
    6 you play punch buggy
    7 you let us have sleepover parties
    8 you play games
    9 you go on trips with us
    10 you aren't mean
    11 you don't spank us
    12 you make us stuff"

    Interesting points: 1) everything is "us." Not "me." I'm not sure what I think of that, but I find it noteworthy. 2) I don't think she has any friends who having parents who "spank" their kids -- it's pretty mainstream at this point, I think, not to raise a hand to your children as a form of discipline. Perhaps I'm off. I just thought it was a non-issue. Not inaction equaling action.
