A conversation had in the kitchen. Of our home. Between my daughter and myself. While I was emptying the dishwasher. After school.
Mom, sometimes I just wish I could be normal!
Hmm...what do you mean, honey?
I just wish I was...(hmpf!) normal!
Okay, I guess I need more information, Paige. What do you mean by "normal"?
(preceeded by what can only be described as a growl) Just--every other kid my age gets to come home after school and--and eat Cheetos and play video games!!
Ohhh....that's awesome for them. But, aren't you happy with apple slices and reading?
It's not fair!

It was then that I realized I was a better mother than I thought.
