Nice to be a Mom

Gwenchik and I were doing some yard work: weeding, pulling grass and then feeding our neighbor's rabbits. Most of the weeds collected we decided to carry to our compost bin.

Gwen: It is nice to be a mom.
Me: Why is that?
Gwen: Well, you get yourself a daughter and then tell her to pull and carry weeds to the compost and she has to do it...
....

Mind you she actually really enjoys this activity, but the thought of "exploitation" appearing at 5 years old?

Worldly Mommy

Gwen: You know, that you are the most fun and interesting Mom.
Me: How so?
Gwen: You have been to many countries and you can always tell interesting stories about the world. All the other mothers can't!

I guess our worldly travels in out forgotten life before Gwyneth are appreciated from an unexpected angle :)
