Well the children and I are back in Vermont visiting my parents. Last night we went out to dinner and on the car ride home, I asked my mom to be sure that Peter (3 1/2) didn’t fall asleep, as I was driving.
So she diligently kept him awake by asking him questions. She started with the usual fare, “How old are you?”, “How many dogs do you have?”, “What are your dog’s names?”, etc.
Running out of questions, my mother asked Peter, “What is Mommy’s name?” He seemed confused by the question. Didn’t everyone call her “Mommy”??? So she rephrased the question: “What does everyone call Mommy?” To this he responded without hesitation: “Boss!!!” Boy, did that give us all a major belly laugh!!! Out of the mouth of babes…
