Overheard

Isaac (to no one): Love you, Dada.
Mama: Jerk.
Dada: What are you calling my boy?
Mama: I called him a jerk. He said he loved you and you weren't even here.
Dada: Good man.
Mama: I sort of got an "I love you" today.
Dada: Oh yeah?
Mama: After his bath, when he was still naked and cold, he wanted me to hold him and not let go. It was really sweet. I said, "I love you, Isaac" and waited to see if he would say it back. He didn't, so I asked "Do you love me, buddy?" and he whispered "Yeah" in my ear and shook his head up and down, still engaged in snuggling, to make sure I knew. I almost cried.
Dada (grinning like the Cheshire Cat): Yeah, I've told lots of chicks I loved them so they would snuggle with me, too.
