It's not time to grow up quite yet, Brooke

Since Brooke was a baby we have had a fun way to express our love.

Me: "Has anyone told you how much they love you today?"

Brooke: "Nope."

Me: "Well I love you BIG Brooke."

Brooke: "Around the world and back?"

Me: "Around the world and back sweet heart."

Today, we played the game. The words fell easily off my lips and my heart swelled. But then suddenly, she changed the script.

Me: "Has anyone told you how much they love you today?"

Brooke: "Nope. But one day when I have a boyfriend I won't say 'nope' any longer because he'll tell me he loves me all day long."

Me: "Boyfriend? You don't want one of those."

Brooke: "Why, you had like 50 boyfriends when you were in school didn't you?"

(Clearly, she has never read the post linked here.)

Me: "Um no, not exactly. I just loved my momma until I was mature enough to realize boyfriends don't go around saying they love you all day long. Only your momma can love you around the world and back."

Brooke: "Okay."

And then my world tilted back on it's axis and could once again dance around the sun.

Hey... just a little FYI...

My friends Rocks in My Dryer, Boo Mama, and Big Mama are wanting to know what "Blog" questions are on your mind. They are in the process of putting their talks together for the She Speaks Conference.

So, if you were sitting in their seminar, what would you hope to see them address?
