Last week, my husband took Bee to the pediatrician for her four year old checkup. During the visit, the doctor asked Bee a lot of different questions, partly to distract her from the fact that she was about to receive five immunizations, but also to check her language ability.
After Bee successfully answered a few basic things the doctor asked, "What is your favorite thing to do with your Mommy and Daddy?" Her favorite thing, as in the thing she loves to do with her parents more than anything else. . .
Now, if you had asked me to speculate on this question, I might have had a couple ideas--bringing a stack of picture books over to Starbucks for special reading time with Mommy; riding her brand new scooter to school with Daddy; being pulled in her red wagon to the farmer's market on Saturday mornings; carving pumpkins for Halloween and her owl-themed birthday party that included an owl pinata and very adorable owl cake. . .cue the happy family music right there folks. But when the question was put to our saintly daughter, only one thing came to her mind:
"Vacuuming."
This should be an interesting year.
