Mama. Mommie. MOM!
What is it, kiddo?
I love you.
I love you, too.

Mama. Mommie. MOM!
What?
Give me kiss.
One for me, too.

Mama.
What, sweetie?
Thank you.
Oh, thank you!

Those thrifty Trifecta editors have asked for a 33 word (only) dialogue. This conversation happened many times over the years of raising my two daughters . . . and many times it has come back to them as they raise my grandchildren. I know you’ve been there, too . . . if you are raising kiddos.

    Well, isn’t this sweet! It’s been a long time since either of my sons have asked for a kiss…I think it might not happen again 🙁

    I loved this!! My youngest daughter just turned 7 in January but she still does this thing at night: I kiss her goodnight, just as I am almost to my room, she decides her favorite doll in the world, Sally, needs a kiss. I return to kiss my first plastic granddaughter. Almost to my room, MAMA, YOU FORGOT TO KISS PENGUIN, her stuffed penguin she sleeps with. Why I can’t remember to kiss my daughter, Sally, and Penguin all at the same time is beyond me. Why does she not remember until I’m almost to my bed? She thinks it’s funny. 🙂

    This is lovely.

  22. Christine says:

    So sweet! My kids (21 months & 4 years) are still at the stage where mama-hugs make everything better. I am dreading the day when they learn that I absolutely can’t resist hugs and kisses, and they figure out how to use that to their advantage. 🙂
