Thanks. Here is one my mom wrote. True story. And, I'm the little girl. "When I was a young mother I took my little girl to a yard sale. The possessions of a very elderly lady were spread out on tables waiting to be sold. My little girl picked up a tiny glass vase and said, "Mama, this is for you! I can pick dandelions for you to put in it." I turned to look and as I did a frail voice caught my attention. An elderly woman said to me, "Treasure that little vase and the little girl who wants it. The days of dandelion bouquets will pass by and be gone before you know it." And she was right. Can I budge in here with a story? Thanks. Here is one my mom wrote. True story.

Just wait until the day that he declares you are no longer his girlfriend and that he is going to marry someone named Kayla, or Jennifer.......no longer does he have his sights set on marrying "mommy".........that is a true heartbreaker!

Sometimes we have to share the affection of our sons with other women in his life. Some day he will pick out another woman to spend his life with, but THAT is a long way off. Enjoy the dimpled boy while you have him. I know you will. Betty in Oklahoma How sweet! You are raising a thoughtful son.

Gotta love such a sweet little guy! I have had that feeling, though, of gentle let-down when the gesture was meant for someone else. Mary would do something so sweet just for Mom ~ until Daddy walked in the door, then the Indian-giver would take it back and say, "Look what I made you, Daddy!" Oh well. I'll share....lol Awwww!!!

If Memaw is any thing like my Mimi there would be no contest. My grandmother had only one rule when we stayed with her. We could not wear our pajamas to Dairy Queen for our daily hot fudge sundae.

I'm thinking he'll be a comedian... you know, carefully set it up, wait for dramatic effect and then deliver the killer punchline. He's adorable, by the way. Heartbreaker?
