Gee, thanks J-Man!

This is a conversation that happened between the J-Man and myself this morning...
 Me: Can I have a kiss?
Jackson: No
Me: Why?
J: Because I said so.
Me: (I ask him playfully) Do you think mommy is gross?
J: (without missing a beat), Yeah.
(before I feel crushed, I figure maybe he thinks ALL girls are gross, he IS only 4 years old after all. So I probe further...)
Me: Do you think kissing girls is gross?
J: No.
Me: But you think giving mommy a kiss is gross?
J: Yeah. Can I have some strawberry milk?
Me: You're lucky you're cute...(I walk away to get him a drink while mumbling under my breath).
Lesson: My middle son is grumpy in the morning when he doesn't have his morning cup of strawberry milk...and he thinks I'm gross!  LOL! LOL! 

Choose Joy,
Sonia
