“What do you kids want for Christmas?”
I would guess that question is rolling around a lot these
days. It’s alternate forms include, “What
will you ask for from Santa?” and “Hanukkah is about to start...” and “It’s December ... do you need anything?”
Well this year I had an extraordinary answer from two of my
three children.
From my son, Gfly, “I don’t know. No, don't get me anything.
I don’t need anything.”
From my eldest daughter, C, “I don’t need anything either, but please
spend the money you would have spent on me and go buy yourself a new warm
coat. The one you have is not
warm enough.”
And that was when I realized that A, it’s possible to cry with pride without your children knowing that you are crying and B, I *probably* don’t suck at parenting.
Happy Holidays.
