Caelism of the Day

Lately, Cael and I have had a number of discussions about how much I still love him even when he's being naughty. 

"You still love me when I don't eat my peas?"

"Yep, I do." 

"Do you love me even when I take toys from Graham?"

"Well, I don't like it when you do that, but I still love you, yes."

Since we'd had so many discussions about this subject, I wasn't surprised when he randomly thought of new scenarios to ask me about.  But I was surprised when he decided to test just how far he can stretch the rules. 

"Mommy?  When we are at home and Graham is downstairs doing naughty things and I take him and throw him out of the house way, way far away...  Will you still love me?"


"What?" 

"And he bleeds a lot, a lot, a lot?  Will you still love me?"

"Umm....." 

"And he's all gone?  For a long time, forever?" 

Wow.  That's a tough one...
