When you’re only three feet tall…

Rain is going through a phase where he says he doesn’t love Aaron – mostly for being too hairy. We know it’s not true of course but sometimes it still hurts Aaron’s feelings. The other day after I said “I love dad” Rain got competitive “No, I love dad!”

I thought, “Here’s an opportunity to make Aaron feel good by stoking the competition a bit.” So we argued back and forth about who loved dad and then I said “prove it!” Rain, of course, says “you prove it.” I got up and went over to where Aaron was doing dishes and hugged his back.

Rain ran over, squeezed between us and kissed Aaron and shouted “There! I proved it dad – I kissed your butt!”
