9:00 at night, third time “Mom” has been called back into JJ’s room for another song or more water or who knows what else….
JJ: “Mom…”
Mom: “JJ, this is the last time I am coming in here, what do you need?”
JJ: “Just one more kiss.”
Mom: “Okay, now, go to sleep.”
JJ: “Mom…”
Mom: (a semi-silent “ugh”) “Yes??”
JJ: Do kisses rub off?
Mom: (abashed) “What honey?”
JJ: “If I lay down on my pillow are your kisses going to come off?”
Mom: “Of course not. Mommy kisses are magic and they never, ever come off!”
JJ: “Okay, good. Love you Mom.”
Mom: “Love you too, sweetie.” (off I go to eat humble pie!)
