Kids Really Do Say the Cutest Things

That's right, file this under: kids say the cutest things. Take, for instance, three nights ago. I'm tucking my older son into bed who recently turned 5 years old. He says to me, out of the blue, "Mom, I wonder why a genie only grants three wishes?" "Hmm, I don't know, Tommy," I answered, and then thinking aloud, "I wonder what my three wishes would be...maybe to have Daddy home for dinner every night, and--" At which point Tommy interrupted me and said, "But Mom! You already got your three wishes!" "You know what, Tommy? You're absolutely right!" I said. And wow was I smiling on the inside. My little guy is so bright. He had obviously been thinking about this for a while to have had such a quick analysis ready. I gave him a big, humongous hug, and I gave his brother and sister one, too. These are the moments where Parent is the finest job title in the world.
