For this, I cannot forget!
A conversation tonight between Lilly and I:
Lilly (as she walks into the kitchen, where I am slaving over PB Sandwiches for dinner): "Momma, can I please have some more grapes? And some more chips? And another Turkey Stick please?"
ME: "Lilly, thank you for using your manners. Certainly you can (as I fill her plate with the things she has so kindly asked for....unlike her siblings who have been demanding and bossing me around for 2 hours)."
LILLY: "Thank you Momma."
ME: "You're welcome sweetheart...thanks again for using your manners!"
(Lilly Exits the room)
ME: (I'm smiling as I think of how that brightened my mood)
LILLY: (she re-enters the room and pokes her head around the fridge) "Momma, I'm just trying to fill your bucket!"
ME: (CRYING....) "Lilly, you are so kind. Thank you!"
