There have been times when I say something to my teenage or adult kids like "let me here you say it" just to get them to tell me and admit "yes Mom, you were right" or "that's a great idea" or some other profound Mother-ish statement I've made to them. I then will follow that up with "Can I have that in Writing"? Which most times is met with snicker, a kiss on the cheek and a "NO!" But not this time!!!
On Sunday Amber was working on a project for a presentation at church for tonight. She was stuck so she ask me "Mom, do you have any ideas for ...?" So I told her the first thing that popped into my head. With that she said "Mom, you are a genius!!!" And you know what I said. And look what she did.
See Mom's (and Dad's) there are those parental paybacks. I am keeping this FOREVER!!! Carrying it around in my planner and will whip it out any chance I get :D Especially to the next child that thinks this Mom doesn't know what she's talking about.
Thanks Amber!! It made my day!!
