3-year-old: Mommy, you got fired?

Me: Yes honey, I got fired.

3-year-old: Are you still awesome*?

Me: Yes, I believe that I am still awesome.

3-year-old: But does he still like you?

Me: Does who like me, honey?

3-year-old: Your boss. Does your boss still like you?

Me: I’m afraid not, honey. But that’s ok. You still think I’m awesome, right?

3-year-old: Yes. You’re awesome.

2-year-old: You AWESOME, Mommy!

Me: Then it’s set. I’m still awesome.

*I have no idea where she got the idea that I am “awesome,” but I’m not about to dissuade her from this notion.

You know what? I think her opinion is far more valuable and holds far more weight than that of your former boss. :)

Just joining the chorus…you are indeed AWESOME. Kids and animals know stuff. Can’t fool ‘em, even if you try. :)

I’ve always thought you were awesome, but I hope you knew that already!

Can we start calling you AAAG? Awesome AlwaysArousedGirl? ;)

“Awesome” isn’t a big word in our house but my 2 year old says it all the time. I believe he picked it up from “Yo Gabba Gabba,” which is awesome.

Is that where it came from? :)

Hahaha this reminds me of a story my mom told me about when she was a kid. So my grandpa had a co-worker named Graham Smith (that’s not his real last name, but I forget his real last name). He had been laid off from the company they worked for. My grandpa had told his wife about the layoff, and a few weeks later, Graham came over for dinner. He walks in the door and my mom’s 5-year-old brother bellows “Why’d you get fired, Graham Cracker??” So of course the guy assumed that my grandpa had told his whole family, including his kids, that he’d been fired (instead of laid off, even!). Embarassing! :-p
