Happy Mother’s Day, by Henry
My mom’s name is Susan.
She is 8 feet tall and weighs 26 pounds.
She is 40 years old.
When I’m at school my mom works at home.
Her favorite store is Target.
Her favorite food is peas.
Her favorite TV show is basketball.
The thing my mom likes to do the most is cooking.
The thing my mom likes to do the least is listen to me and my brother being loud.
My favorite food my mom cooks is chicken nuggets.
My mom’s favorite color is pink.
I love her because she loves me.

Half of your posts make me scared of having kids (bones break?!? And as the parent I have to be cool and calm about that?!?), and then ones like this make my ovaries scream at me to hurry up with the reproducing already.
Also, I am about half as tall as you and 6 times heavier. So now I kinda hate you.

Are peas really your favorite food? That’s just sort of. . .well, unbelievable actually.

OK, that is just the cutest thing ever.

Cooking? You? You must make a mean chicken nugget, indeed! How sweet!

There are no words for the cuteness.

Really? Peas and basketball?
I totally believe the height/weight, though!

I feel like I’ve learned so much about you. I mean, I know you like Target, don’t like the kids to be crazy loud, and work at home. But wow are you tall! And skinny! And you love to cook! And watch basketball! That’s too much to process in one night.
I love this type of sweet sentiment from kids. And I just know he was so serious about all his answers, which is even cuter.

Yeah, I’m totally envious of your height/weight ratio. And that you love cooking and basketball–you are obviously the best mom a boy could have!

I had the impression you were tall and thin, but I had no idea!

Ha! Kids are great. I love it.

RFLOL…26 pounds. Impressive!

This is PERFECT in its honesty and sweetness

To be that skinny you must eat just one pea a day.

I’m going to have to go ahead and insist you eat more than peas, because I think you’re a bit malnourished

I love the sweetness of kids.

I like the 26 pounds part. My son once wrote that my favorite thing was doing laundry.

cooking? i would have said shopping. i love that to him, you appear 8 feet tall. certainly someone to look up to!

That is the adorable-est! (And I see the humor-writing gene has been passed down.) You must be so tall and thin from eating so many peas. (Maybe that’s my problem?!)

Ok so mine said that Bear thinks I weigh 930 lbs. So you have a much sweeter and longer living son than I do!

that is the sweetest thing. You really do seem 8ft tall to us shorties in the blogosphere. the other day my son grabbed my arm and said “you’re losing weight” He’s only four and is focused only on eating his dinner so he gets bigger, so this was too sweet.

Wow, the camera *really* makes you look shorter! All this time, I figured you were about my mom’s height, and you’re taller than Shaq, go figure.
Can you teach me to love peas above all else? I’m sure it would be kinder to my rear than the Ben&Jerry’s I love so much!

sweetness.
