An Honest Answer

Scene: yesterday, while discussing me going to Chicago this week for BlogHer ’13.

Mira:  Mommy, I’m really going to miss you.

Me:  I know, sweetie, but I’ll only be gone for a few days.

Mira:  I’ll still miss you and think about you every day.

Me:  Thank you, Mira. I’ll miss you, too.

(turning to Cordy)

Me:  What about you, Cordy? Will you miss me while I’m gone, too?

Cordy:  (shrugging) Nah.

Aaron:  Cordy, you’ll miss mommy when she’s gone, won’t you?

Cordy:  (backpedaling) I, uh, I mean…I’ll try to miss you!

Aaron:  Not quite right.

Cordy:  Oh, OK, I’ll try NOT to miss you!

Me:  It’s OK, Cordy, I’ll miss you, whether you miss me or not.

Sigh.
