Mothers Day Wishes from MAX

So Max takes a running leap into our bed this morning and tells me has something to tell me. A secret.

Max: "Mom, I love you 10 million, one hundred ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen and two thousand!!!"
Me: "OOOOOHHHHH how exciting! I love you too!"
Max: (trying to outdo his previous statement, he utters with some hesitancy in his voice): "Mom I love you MORE than TV!"
Me: Speechless. I know the strength he had to muster up to make this statement, how can I show him I get it?"
"Max, I love you MORE than Hello Kitty laminated in good packaging!"
Max: "WOW"

We look at each other in this knowing way, nodding our heads as if we've really said all that there is to say on a day like Mothers Day...


My secret? The biggest Mothers Day Present I received today was Max NOT saying what he really wanted to say... that he loves me MORE than TV but LESS than guns.
Guns that he fashions out of anything consisting of solid matter.
