1/28/08 The Driver

Gabriel's homework tonight included an "extra," which was to write down who is important to his family, and why. Gabriel took one look at this and said NO WAY. He relented a teeny bit when I said, "What about Katrina, isn't she important to you?" and he answered, "yeah, because she's cute....but NO WAY MOM I'M NOT DOING THAT." And that was that.

Julian, listening to this exchange, piped in, "I know who's important!" So I asked, "Who?" and he said, "Mom!" Awww. I gave him a kiss and then asked him why. "Because Mom's the driver," he answered.

Pretty profound for a kid, huh?

Actually, I think he literally meant that I'm the one who drives the car when I pick him up. But I'll savor the ambiguity for now.
