Aaawww....

This is one for the tender hearted.

Mary woke up early on Monday and came into our room complaining of not feeling well. I knew that she was still getting over a cold so I told her to go back to bed for little bit and I would check her out when it was time to get up for school. She complained about a headache and a stomach ache but had no fever. I am really not one to keep the kids home for every sniffle, especially since both Paul and I work full time but I could tell that she really did not feel good. I tried to determine exactly how bad it was;

Me: Now Mary I need you to be honest with me because I cannot feel what is in your body, I can only see what it’s on the outside. You don’t have a temperature and you are not throwing up. How bad do you really feel?

Mary: Yeah, you can’t see what is going on inside because you are not in my body. Well, you are in my heart because I love you but that is different.

She said it totally honestly and was not just trying to sweet talk me which made it that much dearer to me.

Needless to say, she stayed home that day…
