Dear Holly,

Hanging up on our fridge, for the past few weeks now, is a Mother’s Day card you made; which gives a rundown of how Mommy compares to everyone in our family.

You declared that Mommy is stronger and cooler than you, smarter than me, and braver than your brother.

I was expecting him to get defensive when we read the card out loud at dinner. But no.

Instead, he immediately agreed than Mommy is braver than he is. And sure, I didn’t have a problem admitting Mommy is smarter than me.

So I guess your Mother’s Day card was accurate!

Love,

Daddy
