I recently had a conversation with a new friend/neighbor of Daniel's. It began with me noticing that whenever he wanted my attention he would yell, "Hey!"
Me: Do you know my name?
Boy: No.
Me: It's Jennifer, but you can call me Jen.
Boy: Can I call you by a nickname?
Me: Sure. Daniel's Mom or Jen will do.
Boy (thoughtfully): How about Mom! (big smile on his face)
Me: That'll work!!
I think maybe I've been adopted as his "other mother." My heart grows big!
