I love you more than anything!

Yesterday I asked Dominic if he wanted to go with me to Old Navy or with Jon to Best Buy. This is his reply-

"I love you more than anything else, Mommy. But I love Daddy even more so I'll go with him."

Today I told Dominic to hurry and get into the car because it was hot inside and I wanted to get the air running.

"I can't go as fast as I used to when I was young. I'm now 33." I'm not sure whether to be horrified or just laugh. =)

While I was making lunch I heard Dominic talking.

"Don't say that to me, it annoys me when I hear it."

"Okay, I'll try my hardest not to annoy you, but I really like that word."

A sigh and a pause.

"Thank you for not annoying me."

I asked him who he was talking to and he said

"My dear."

"Who?"

"My wife. You know! My dear." (Jon calls me dear and Dominic has copied him several times.)
