This is my sweet little boy...the baby of the family...Sammy Bones...Sammy Kinz...Sammy Sam. You would naturally assume that he loves me and thinks I'm the best mommy around all of the time. This is the face that always smiles and loves me no matter what, right? This morning Sam figured out something about his mommy and it went like this:Sam: "I want to play Webkinz. Can you help me start it?"
Me: "When I am done unloading the dishwasher, I will help you."
Sam: "Mommy, you always wear your pjs and glasses together when you unload the dishwasher."
Me: "Yes, Sam, I do usually wear my glasses and my pjs together. But sometimes I am dressed in regular clothes and don't have my glasses on when I unload the dishwasher."
Sam: "Your face looks funny in your glasses."
Me: "What did you say? My face looks funny in my glasses??"
Sam: "Wellllll, when you are dressed in your clothes....your face looks GOOD, but...when you are dressed in your pjs and wearing your glasses, your face doesn't look good!"
Me: "Thank you, Sam, for that nice compliment about mommy."
Sam: "I just like your face better when you are dressed in regular clothes."
Evidentally Sam has found out fairly young about the value of a pretty face. He knows what he likes and he won't hesitate to tell you. Don't worry. He WILL be receiving a lecture shortly on understanding how beauty comes from within. And maybe this is a lesson for myself that I shouldn't wear my pjs until 12 noon everyday.
