But I’m not going to.
Instead I’ll tell you about a little exchange I had this morning with Jack. He reminds me that we should all just be thankful for the little things in life…like saws:
Jack: Mom, when I grow up and I’m in jail, will you visit me and don’t forget to bring a saw so you can cut me out.
Me: Jack, why will you be in jail? Are you planning to be a naughty grown-up?
Jack: In case I rob a bank or something.
Me: But you’re a good boy now! I don’t think you’ll be a naughty grown-up!
Jack: Mom! Just in case! Bring a saw!
Me: Jack, I promise to bring you a saw if you promise to not ever rob a bank and go to jail.
Jack: Okay, mom, deal.
My funny little fella. I am thankful for so much.
Aww, heck, it got sappy after all.
