Another Mom

Brennan and I were discussing the holidays at bedtime. I asked him if he had thought at all about what he wanted for Christmas or his upcoming birthday.

"I don't know," he said thoughtfully, "But I do know what I am going to get you for Christmas!"

"You do?" I laughed.

"Yes. I am going to get you another Mom." Brennan said triumphantly.

"What? Another mom?" I have to admit I was worried where this was going and sure it was going to lead to some comment on my mothering skills. It had been a tough week all the way around for us. Let's just say it has not been one of my finer mothering weeks. Chris had been out of town and we all had a big ol' bad case of the grumpies.

"Another Mom!" Brennan laughed.

"Well, what would the other Mommy do?" I asked, hesitantly, not sure if I wanted to know the answer.

Brennan thought for a moment. "The other mom would do all the cleaning of the house. All the laundry and all that other stuff. Then, all you would have to do is play with us all day long. You'd like that wouldn't you Momma?"

Yes. I think this Other Mom gift idea has some merit after all.
