real life conversations...

...about love.


the other day i got sentimental and weepy about the lack of iloveyou's from my sweet harrison boy. but i can see the humor in it too. i mean...it is kinda funny. as proof, here are two similar, yet very different, conversations that took place yesterday:


the scene: graham and i are sitting on the couch watching dinosaur train. graham leans over and rests his head on my arm.

graham: mommy, i love you so much.

me: graham, i love you so much too.

graham: i love you to the moon and back and the sun and back.

me: well i love you to the stars and back and the planets and back.

graham: well who loves more?

me: i do.

graham: no i love you more.

me: no i love you more.

graham: no i love you more.


and so it went.


the scene: harrison and i are sitting on the couch watching wild kratts.

me: pssst. harrison...

(harrison looks over at me)

me: i love you so much buddy.

harrison: you've already told me that.


and so it goes.

My conversation with my girls:
Lucy - Mommy sometimes I get lonely and worry about people I love dying. I would miss you if you died.
Me - I would miss you too honey. (Hugs)
Lucy - I wonder if Hannah ever gets lonely or feels alone
Me - Why don't you go ask her.
Lucy - (coming back) She said "Nope. Never. Please leave my room."
