The other day I heard my middle son say to my wife, “Mommy, I love you as fast as an airplane and as high as the moon.”
We should all love that hard.

I once had a 3rd grade student tell me “my mom is as beautiful as a World War II plane, crashing.” He really meant it in a good way. He was going to use it to write her a mother’s day card.
“Let’s just put as beautiful as a WWII plane,” I suggested, and he agreed.
That’s a wonderful thing to say. He’s a creative child for sure.
Lucky you! The other day my youngest took an impromptu poll and asked at dinner “Who hates Daddy?” then giggled. Everybody raised their hands.
