Survival Skills

28 Oct

Young children have this special way of disarming us just when they are at their most exasperating and we are at our most impatient.

One day as soon as I turned off the water from my shower, my younger son (who was about 3 at the time) asked,

“Mom, are you done?”

Yes.

“Are you done?”

Yes. I’ll be out as soon as I get dressed.

“Are you done in the shower?”

Yes. I’m getting dressed.

This went on until I was dressed and opened the bathroom door.

“Mom, YOU’RE MY BUDDY.” This was accompanied by the World’s Biggest Hug.

Who said cuteness isn’t a survival skill?
