A Price on Love
For years, Connor has correctly answered”bunches!” when asked how much Mommy loves him. I’ve always thought he was so cute in the way he’d respond (sometime “bunchies”) so I thought I’d try it out on Evan (who’s now two, remember?)
Me: “I love you, Evan.”
Evan:“I yuh you, too, Mommy.”
Me: “How much does Mommy love you?”
Evan:“Ummm…. TWO!”
Me, laughing: “How much does Evan love Mommy?”
Evan: “TWO!”
Me: “Know how much Mommy loves you? Bunches… like five!”
Evan: “Five?”
Me: “Do you love Daddy?”
Evan:“Ummm… Five!”
Me: “How much does Daddy love you?”
Evan: “Five!”
Me, laughing again: “Does Daddy love Mommy?” (Nate was listening to our conversation and laughing, too.)
Evan: “TWO!”
There you have it… In Evan’s mind, her Daddy loves her most.
