When Hans was 6 years old, we had a mini talk about the best mom in the world. Today, MyLO said something that made me remember that moment from almost 12 years ago!
MyLO came back to school after being away for 2 days. It was more like 5 days as Friday was a PA Day followed by the weekend. I made a few changes to the classroom over those days she was away, and I was worried as she doesn’t take well to changes. So, to distract her and pacify her, I went to work prepared with her favourite Blue Takis. (I have permission from MyLO’s mother to buy snacks for her.)
As she was eating her snacks, she started rambling on about best moms. I hope I captured what she said as accurately as possible …
All kids think their moms are the best moms. We must take all the moms
and throw them in the Coliseum and then, we can find out who is the best mom.
I was like “you want to throw your mom in the Coliseum?” and she was like “and you too!” and I was like “I don’t want to be the best mom; I am okay to be the second best mom” and she was like “I want you to fight my mom”!
It was the one of the most interesting conversations I ever had with the kiddo, and I felt the need to write about it.
How do these kids think the way they think?
