Monkey: If you love Mama more than apple dumpling cake, raise your hand!
*he raises his hand, while his sister stares out the window*
Chickadee: I’m not raising my hand.
Monkey: Well I am! I love Mama more than cake!
Me: You didn’t even LIKE the cake.
Monkey: Right, so I love you more!
Me: Thanks.
Chickadee: I didn’t raise my hand because I think I love that cake more. It’s sooo good!
Me: Okay, so let me get this straight. YOU love me more than cake you hate, and YOU would rather have a piece of cake than a mother who loves you. Wow, I feel special.
Chickadee: Don’t worry, Mama. I still need you to GET the cake for me.

    Oh snap! Did you scream? Or laugh? Or cry?

    Oh my goodness. I don’t know if I would have laughed or cried.

    Isn’t it funny how kids have no sense of compassion or sensitivity???

    Dude, cough up the apple dumpling cake recipe already. I want to see if *I* like it better than I like my mother.

    And again I say…ummm, recipe? Thanks.

    Isn’t it nice to know where you stand? When, say, calculating the amount you’re going to spend on them at Christmastime? *cackles evilly* ;)

    Just for fun, I checked with my two: there isn’t anything in the world MegaBoy loves more than me, but CurlyGirl could name a gazillion things, including geckos, old sneakers, and wilted lettuce.

    So I really need you to post that recipe so I can drown my sorrows…
