from the mouth of an angel

"mama, what do you wanna be when you grow up?"

fighting back tears that my biggest baby thinks i am so young.....

"i don't sweetie, i have not decided yet (which is God's honest truth), what do YOU think mama should be?"

"i think you would make a great police woman mom."

"wow! really?  do i ACT like a police girl or LOOK like one?"

"well, a little bit you ACT like one"

i will give him that, moms are similar to the police force of their happy homes.

so to continue this conversation i say,

"the only thing i wouldn't like about that is i would be scared to catch bad guys and do the detective bad people work"

"oh mama!, when you get old you get SO BRAVE"

"phew! i hope so buddy, in that case i would love to be a police woman"

And from the mouth of my other monkey who talks...

"Mama, can we go meet big daddy?"

"well, he is out of town but we can go play at his house"

"no, mama, Big daddy is waiting on us AT THE ZOO- he said to go to the zoo"

i picked up my heart from the floor and promised a zoo visit very very soon for this child who LOVES the zoo more than anything!!!!
