If you were abducted and taken to Mars, what is it about you that your kids would miss the most? I can pretty much guarantee it wouldn’t be my cooking! It probably wouldn’t be the repeated requests to clean up their rooms and help with their chores. And they definitely wouldn’t mind not brushing their teeth. They would still fight over who has to feed the birds that night and I’m not sure who would pick up and feed Junie. I think they think her food magically appears.
I would hope it would be the hugs and kisses and all of the love they get from their mama. The look of pride on my face when they have accomplished something. The cheers they get from me (they are always louder then everyone else) when I am rooting them on.
The smile I give them when they look at me with a look in their eyes that tells me they need reassurance.
Me asking them every morning, “Did you have a good sleep?”
I’m pretty sure that they would miss all of that in the event I was taken to Mars.
Eventually.
I honestly think they would miss those things the most. Plus, they would probably miss these things.
Christiano would miss my lap that he climbs up in and snuggles against my shoulder when he’s upset.
I think they all would miss the moments when I am feeling goofy and break out into an old “running man” dance in the middle of the kitchen.
or when I suddenly break out into song and they look at each other and start to laugh, but then they join in.
I would hope they’d miss the stories I read to them.
And the fact that I read just one more before it’s time to go to bed.
I know those things would be the things I miss about them if I were taken to Mars. Their smile, their laughter, the bear hugs, and the slobbery kisses. I don’t think my life could be complete without them.
So, if you were taken to Mars, what is it that your kids would miss about you? Would it be the same as mine? What would you add to it? I’m going to ask mine when they get from school and up from nap. I think this is a really neat conversation to have with them.
