To this Jonah, I would reply, "Somehow, I still love you to pieces."
The rest of the evening was bliss. We took baths, read stories and went to bed without so much as a "Mom, I have to do tinkles (again)...or Mom, I need a drink...or Mom, come lay down with me and tell me another hunting story." I felt like saying, "So, you still hate me then? That kiss goodnight and the 'Mom, carry me to bed like a baby'... that was all your way of showing me how much you hate me?"
I'll take it.
The little monsters, minus Char ...Josh excluded :)
