Me: Alright you two, it's sleepytime. And you want to make sure you get a good rest tonight – tomorrow is Mommy's Day!
N: Mommy's Day...
S: ... is tomorrow!
N: Not Daddy's Day!
Me: No, not Daddy's Day. That's not until next month.
S: Not Grandma's Day!
Me: Er... no. Not Grandma's Day either. I'm not sure when that is actually.
N: Not Boys' Day!
Me: Ha ha. Well, every day is Boys' Day.
S: Not Uncle Brent Day!
N: *giggle* Not Uncle Brent Day!

I knew it was game over at the first giggle, since it always is. The next 15 minutes were filled with non-stop declarations of "not Uncle Brent Day!" and fits of giggles until my guys wore themselves out and fell asleep.
And much like a "not no" in the absence of yes, I have a feeling I'm going to have to interpret a whole lot of "not Uncle Brent Day!" interspersed with much giggling tomorrow as a "Happy Mommy's Day!" from my best guys.
Oy.

The boys are blessed every day with your love, warmth, and spirit. As they grow from fine young toddlers to fine men (though not too fast!), you will always be in the centre of their hearts as they are in yours.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the Happiest Mother's Day filled with fun and lots of giggles with those two sweet guys :)
