"What have you done to deserve a rest?"

Earlier today my daughter tells me very excitedly why she is proud of her day. These are the moments every parent waits for.

As parents we all know we are frauds, fakers, inadequate pretenders soon to be found out at any moment, so when a child feels especially proud of themselves, their day or better still - your accomplishments, we hold on to every last word for dear life hoping it will extradite us from the 'real' truth of whom we are. Nothing, I repeat, nothing must or would dare tread on these precious moments of disclosure of course...unless it's your mother!
