[Trough the Eyes of A Child] The Best Mommy in the World

Influenced by TV, I guess, my children are generous with exaggerated superlatives (worst day ever, best present in my whole life, ... Sounds familiar, no?). 

One time, my five year old told me, "You are the best Mommy in the whole wide world!"

I love to ask a 'deep' question to kids and get their innocently creative answers. Answers that are genuine, have not been shaped by media, school, other people thoughts...

And so I asked him, "How can you know that I am the best mommy? Who knows others are better?"

He pondered a while and replied solemnly, "Because to every kid, his mommy is the best in the world."

There were times we beat ourselves whether we are doing well mothering the family. I hope with this little post we can be reminded that to our kids, we are still the best. Keep going...
