I love to think that I am a good writer, that I take reasonably mundane situations and highlight the humour in them. Then other times I re-read what I have written and realise that I am just taking notes on what has happened. This post is one of those other times, this conversation happened exactly as I have written.
We were sitting having dinner tonight and Monkey Boy spontaneously looked at me and said, "I love you Daddy." My heart warmed, I smiled and said "I love you too." Fat Chops, never one to be outdone chipped in with "I love you Daddy" and I returned in kind.
We ate for a few more minutes and then Monkey Boy decided he liked the good vibes his last statement had created so popped up with "I love you Mommy." Before Hannah had a chance to return the sentiment, Fat Chops was jumping on the bandwagon with his own "I love you Mammy".
I was curious to see how far this would go so I asked Monkey Boy, if he loved Fat Chops and he muttered yeah with a shrug of his shoulders that suggested he wouldn't be all that upset to have a room to himself instead.
I asked Fat Chops if he loved his brother and he turned around and said "I love you Monkey Boy". His brother said "good" and went back to his dinner.
