I just realized yesterday when I was driving that my son Sebi thinks I'm pretty darn cool. Apparantly, I can do just about anything. Take for example the conversation we have at every (EVERY) stoplight.
Sebi: "What are we doing?"
me: "We're going to (whatever fun event I've got planned which I describe in detail).
Sebi: "Can we go?"
me: "No. Red is stop."
Sebi: "red stop"
me: "Green go."
and usually by this time, the light has changed from red to green. But yesterday, when he was especially impatient to get to the store he looked over at me and said, "Can you say green go?" It was then that I realized that the whole time that I was explaining the semantics of driving, he just thought it only took his mama to say green go and it was done.
Example #2, to which I failed to please:
I was on the computer (go figure) looking at some of our summer pictures.
"Mommy I want to see a picture of Sebi".
o.k.
"with Grandma"
o.k.
"On the couch"
uuhhhh...... (note to self: take picture of Sebi with his Grandma on the couch)

I love how our children think we are so wonderful at this age! I am dreading the day when she is a bit older and realizes that I'm not as amazing as she thinks I am. :(
This tool (belief) can work in your favor too - I am of the generation of small pox vaccines which means I have a scar on my upper left arm in the shape of a circle. Common to all of us who had this vaccine. So when the kids were little, they'd poke me in the arm when I was either doing something else or talking to someone and say, "Mom! Mom!! MOM!!!" Finally, one day I pulled up my sleeve and said, "See what you're doing??" They were mortified and I was immediately contrite...
Note to all you moms out there - you are amazing till 1st or 2nd grade. You're convenient from then till junior high (or middle school I believe it's called now?) Then you're just plain stupid. In high school you are a combination of stupid, sometimes good for advice but most of all an ATM. Then in college, let me tell you, your stock goes up and suddenly you begin to gain knowledge stature once again. By the time your kids have kids, you're equals. "The circle of life..." (hear the music in the background....)
But belive me, this is the way it's supposed to be.
