Yesterday we were driving in the car running errands when Kora announced from the backseat, “Mommy, I love you.” Logan echoed her and then they went through the whole family, “and I love Daddy, and I love Logan.” Logan repeated everything Kora said and when he got to “I love Logan” he even changed it to Kora. It was very cute and very loud, they went around and around the family this way multiple times. Kora leading and Logan just a breath behind.
After a bit of this game. they stopped and sat in smiling silence for a minute when Kora said, “Mommy, do you know what I love best?”
My first thought was she was going to say Mommy. Conceited, I know, but we are in a Mommy stage with both kids and sometimes it really hurts Tired Dad Dave’s feelings. They love him and ask about him all the time when he is not here, but sometimes there are instances where Logan sees him in the morning and he runs away and cries. I think it’s more out of routine than favorites, simply because I’m home all day while he is at work, they are used to me doing things for/with them more often.
That’s why, when I thought Kora was going to say she loved Mommy best, I panicked for half-a-second. I didn’t want Tired Dad Dave’s feelings to get hurt after he was just smiling at the cute little game they were playing. Then I thought to myself, “Well, she said ‘what’ so maybe she will name a thing and everyone will be happy.”
While I was thinking all this, Kora asked again, “Mommy, do you know what I love best?”
“What honey?” I dared to answer, holding my breath.
“Myself.”
Well, at least you won't have to worry about her self-esteem, right? Cheers!
That was the perfect answer! So cute!!!!
Good for her!
At least she’s a girl that knows what she loves!
Cute!!! Good for her! :)
She’s voiced the true feelings of just about everyone in society…lol
At least she’s honest. ;) She’s a cutie!! Thanks for the visit. :)
Ha! Such a great response. Kids say the darndest things, right? :)
I hope she never forgets to love herself best!
That was so sweet. I agree with Unknown Mami. I hope she always loves herself the best.
That was very nice! Good answer and one often overlooked!
I relate to the ease of shopping for girls…I have only one child, a girl, and I love dressing her. I’ve often wanted a boy also, and am aware of the relative lack of great lines for boys. If they’re too overstyled…um, we don’t want to do that. So boys’ clothes tend to be more traditional/classic/repetitve/boring….and it’s a shame.
I am looking at some very great lines…different but they still maintain “boyishness” if that makes any sense. Hopefully you’ll like them. Hopefully I’ll be posting soon.
Don’t you love it how kids always just tell the truth!
That may be the best answer ever!

That is hilarious. Very clever of her! I love the things kids say!
Wasn’t it Art Linkletter, (I know I am old), that had a TV show featuring a segment called: “Kids Say the Darnst Things.”
