The compliment

Last night the kids and I were around the dinner table as usual. Catherine was up and about pouring, serving and making sure bellies were being filled. She said something about how the kids had to get their homework done this weekend while she and Patrick are gone. Alexis immediately said, "that means Darby too!" Catherine said, "no Alexis, Darby is an adult." Alexis said, "no, she´s a kid... in her head!"

I answered with, "well, I´m a kid in my heart," but that´s basically what he meant. Not that I have the IQ of a kid, just that I think like one. Adults have commented that I´ve got a "childlikeness" before, but I´ve never heard it from an expert, a kid himself. I´m so glad he thinks of me as one of his own, on his level. I´m in! Just wanted to share... Lovies.
