Mother's Day Tea

Today was Mother's Day Tea at Caroline's kindergarten class. What a treat. The kids sang to us, served us strawberry shortcake, and presented us with special books, cards, and decorated flower pots.

The teachers read each student's book out loud while the Mom and child stood, revealing each kids' thoughts about:
their favorite thing about their Mother ("she always has hugs and kisses to give me"):
when their Mother looks prettiest ("when she wears her best outfit");
the funniest thing about their Mother ("she tickles me");
when they have fun together ("when she takes me to Baskin & Robbins");
what their Mothers like ("to give hugs and kisses");
what they don't like ("to yell at me or Margaret when we are being naughty");
their favorite TV show ("Sopranos");
what special thing they would give their Mother ("a hug and a kiss");
and what they would say "Thank You" to their Mommy for ("having me as a daughter").
As you might imagine, some of the responses were truly hilarious--like the kid who said his mom looked her prettiest when "she is going out to the bar."
