“Well… what if somebody else says that to their mommy?”

November 19, 2006 by Janice

So I posted the other day about how little kids everywhere love to declare that they have “The Best Mom in the Whole Wide World.”

Well, wouldn’t you know that my little munchkin has decided to start holding out on me…

Now I know my son adores me – he has been a mommy’s boy since he was first plopped on my tummy, all covered in goop and squirming up to latch on and grab his first drink.

But, I noticed that recently he hasn’t been telling me I the best mommy in the whole wide world.

So, today I decide to prod Jackson. But the little monkey loves to torture me – he has his dad’s sense of humor. And so we play. “I love you this much,” he taunts, holding up his arms not as far apart as they can go and then flashes me his most mischievous grin.

“Oh you…” and I wrestle him for a hug. (How come his laugh is never more beautiful than when he is being a monkey?)

We laugh and play for awhile. A short time later he tries to lure me from my computer. I pout and tease him back, “No – I am still upset because you won’t say that I am the best mommy in the whole wide world.”

“Well,” my little politician answers, “You are the best mommy in the whole wide world that I know!”

“You little monkey!”

“Well… what if somebody else says that to their mommy?”

“Arrrghh – come on – this is no time for logic – give me some love!!!”

How come I have the only four year old in the whole wide world who uses logic when it comes to confessing their adoration to their mommy?!?

Good grief – but my ears will be wide open now, waiting and listening. That little munchkin is going to slip one day and call me the best mommy in the whole wide world. And I will be there – ready to record it.

    You never know, you might start hearing it again in another couple of years when 21 becomes ‘mature.’ Best wishes

    Oh what a lucky woman you are! I had to wait seven years for my son to say something approximately like that [speech delay] but it was worth the wait. Best wishes to you and yours

    hi, house help on a whole is super cheap. for $200/ month it’s full time help, and i’m generous. i pay on the high side because i feel that that’s too little.

    kids are too smart!!! my son will do something sneaky and wrong, then he’ll come up to me and start with “oh, mama” and come up and hug me. i give in always, but my husband is stronger and tells him he did wrong.
    but at least i get an extra hug and kiss in:)

    I cherish those words every time my daughter say them. I know there will come a time when she’ll think she’s too cool to be saying it anymore.
