Love, love me do
We were being silly at the dinner table.
M:Â I love Daddy this much (holding his hands about two inches apart).
D:Â Well, I love Miles this much (holding his arms wide apart).
M:Â I love Mommy this much (holding his hands about two inches apart again).
A:Â How much do you love Mubby?
M:Â This much (two inches again).
A:Â How much do you love Tobin?
M: This much (about six inches). Actually I love Mommy this much (about twelve inches).
A:Â Oh, that’s nice!
M: (bursting into tears) No! I don’t love Mommy!
A:Â Do you need a little love?
Still sobbing, Miles nodded, climbed into my lap, and received a thorough snuggling. That showed me.
