My boy: Can you sing me a song Mommy?
Me: I can't buddy. I'm sick. It hurts my throat.
My boy: Can you read me a story?
Me: I can't read you a story tonight buddy. If I talk too much it makes my voice hurt.
My boy: But Mommy, you talk too much everyday.
What do you say to that? Nothing. I chuckled, kissed him on the cheek and left the room.
There's nothing like a totally honest comment from one of your children to make you rethink your habits. I probably do talk too much; especially when my husband is out of town. Sometimes you just need some one to talk to; even if it's a 4 year old. Not that I say anything inappropriate. I just talk to talk. I guess I should back off a little.
