How to Make Mama Cry

[Dinner table, end of a semi-trying afternoon]

Jonah: You are the BEST mama.

Mama: Are you sure? What makes me the best? I don't think I'm the best.

Jonah: Because... because you TAKE CARE of us. That makes you the best mama.

Mama: [sobs]

Jonah: I know how I can cheer you up, Mama!

Mama: [sniffling] How?

Jonah: It's called Table Manners. [lifting fork, finally using it] There, now do you feel better? Please, may I please have some milk?
