Boys and Mom–And Caring Gifts
The three boys and mom (meaning me) are having lots of fun these days! Only this week, I was feeling under the weather. I’m not sure what it was, but it made me feel pretty sick on Monday. Now I’m better.
That day at pre-school, Rowdy Rebel made me a necklace. As soon as I got home, he put it on, and explained to me that it took him a very long time to make, it’s very special, and I need to be careful with it. The necklace is very pretty! It has little golden square-shaped beads, big button beads, lots of different color, and all of the trinkets are laced around a piece of yarn. I love it.
So, I wore it that evening. But I didn’t feel well. At one point, my face must have shown this, because Deep Thinker asked, “Mom, your eyes are red. Are you going to cry?”
I said no, just that I didn’t feel well. Then I got up and said I’d be right back. I needed to go to the restroom.
Rowdy Rebel asked, “Are ya gonna throw up?” I said I hope not.
Seeming VERY concerned, Rowdy Rebel continued, “Mommy, if you DO throw up, be very, very careful NOT to throw up on your new NECKLACE. Okay?” Nothing like the sweet words of a four-year-old keeping a close eye on his mother.
