Conversation between Thomas and me ast night in the car on the way home from dinner with Will’s parents and out-of-town relatives.

Me: Buddy, I’m so glad to hear that you had a great day at school today! I’m very proud of you for doing such a good job.

Thomas: You’re welcome. Did you do a good job at work today, Mommy?

Me: Yeah, I guess so.

Thomas: Then I am very, very proud of you for doing a good job, Mommy.

Me: Thanks, Thomas!

Thomas: Do you think Daddy did a good job at his work today?

Me: Yeah, I’m sure he did.

Thomas: Well, then I’m very, very proud of Daddy for doing a good job, too!

He’s pretty much the most charming boy I know. Of course, then he spent the next ten minutes “singing” the background music from the dungeon level of the original Super Mario Brothers game (you know: doobee doobee doobee. . . . doobee doobee doobee. . . .and repeat). Not so charming. But I’ll take what I can get.
