This is a HARD face not to love. max and i have a "thing". every morning, right after seminary, he will text me "the scripture of the day". something that struck him while in class or just in his reading. i comment and we both feel connected somehow. max came to me over the weekend with a question about doing something "everyone else was doing". i'm always leary of that phrase. such a teenage thing to say, because we all know that not everyone is doing it. i said no. i said no after 5 different tries and 5 different scenarios. i said no. i'm no different than any other parent who wants to have their kids like them. it hurt me to see him sulk. it hurt me to have him give me a little bit of the cold shoulder yesterday. i wanted to change my mind, but in principle, i was still right in saying no. imagine my warm and fuzzy when this morning, sure enough right after seminary, i got my scripture of the day. this time there was an "i love you mom" at the end.
i guess this one time i did my job right.
