Setting the Record Straight

98% of all statistics are made up. ~Author Unknown

I read in a magazine that 70% of moms have a favorite child. This statistic bothered me. Do you think its true? It came from an article titled "Things Most Moms Will Never Tell You"

really?

REALLY?

Down at the Lake House one evening, we took our stroll down the lane and I brought this topic up to my mom and sister because I think it is untrue.

I told them I think this "myth" is horrible and untrue. I shared with them how I think you have ups and downs with children, but that to say you favor one child?

And then my mother blurted out: "Well, it's obivous from your blog who your favorite is!"

So to set the record straight -I have no favorite child and I NEVER will. There are mostly pictures of Wesley on this blog because he isn't a stinker about taking pictures (like the other 2 boys).

The next Sunday at church a 12 year old boy gave a talk about his mother. He said his mother asked each of her children who they thought was her favorite and each child said, "I am."

This is the kind of house I hope my children grow up in.

And just so you all know - I am my mother's favorite ;)
