a mother's day gift

On Wednesday, Kenan got in the car with a paper bag all beautifully decorated with stickers.  He first said he had a party in school and then he said that the cup was his and the treat was for papa.  He finally fessed up that the cup and treats were for me for mother's day.  He sheepishly handed them over, but kept the chocolates.  Well I shared, that was fine with me.  I thought it was very funny that he wanted to keep it all.  Then yesterday (Thursday) he came out of school with another bag and this time he told me this was for me for mother's day and that he loves me.  I told him that we could share the mugs together.  The mugs were the kind with the paper inserts that you can decorate.  They have his hand prints on them.  What a keepsake!  Then, later that afternoon, I heard Lisa Barry say this you are under 18 and love your mom to give her a call.  So Kenan (with my help) called Lisa Barry and told her how much he loved me and why.  This was how their call went:

L: Hi KTIS who's this?

K: I love my mommy!

L: You do?!  Who's this?  What's your name?

K:  umm, Kenan.

L: Why do love your mommy?

K: umm, cuz.

L:  What makes your mommy special?  Why do you love her?

K: She plays with me and she hugs me

L: Well she sounds like a great mom!  You must love her?

K: Yeah

L: You have a good day.  Bye

K: Bye

This is as close to how I remember it going.  She is going to play all the calls on Mother's day.  I'm hoping to hear it.
