Jackie, at the dinner table: "Mom, do you want to know why the people in Veggie Tales are veggies?"
Me: "Why?"
Jackie: "Because they're veggies."
Me: "Hmmm . . . Could someone pass the ketchup?"
A few minutes later:
Jackie: "Mom, do you want to know why the people in Veggie Tales are veggies?"
Me, with a smile: "Because they're vegetables."
Jackie, emphatically, drawn out, and with a hearty giggle at her own joke: "No, because they're VEGGIES!"
I've learned over the years that an important part of motherhood is being able to laugh on demand.
