Yesterday at church, one of the ladies asks the children: “And what does your mother do for you?” My six year old nephew pipes up and says, “My mom can answer all of my questions.”  It’s amazing how some of those melt you heart moments are not in ear shot when you’d like to hear them most. That boy could have scored some major points. 

This mainly got me thinking about how important my sister is in my nephews development. Imagine she couldn’t, wouldn’t or wasn’t there to answer his questions. He can’t look things up on wikipedia himself, although one shouldn’t put it past the six year olds of today. I realised how most mothers are like the singer Snow from the 90’s and will probably be best known for being the “Informer”.
