What are Mommies for anyway?

Today when we were at the park, Arielle told me "Mommy, you're not for playing." So I said, "What is Mommy for then?" She replied, "You're for talking!" Why did that not surprise me to hear her say that? Probably because all she ever does is talk...from the second she wakes up in the morning until the very last second that I close her door at bedtime. I shouldn't complain because talking too much is a lot better than not talking at all. Anyway, her comment got me thinking about what mommies are really for and here is a short list that I came up with: wiping away tears, tucking into bed, carrying blankey, brushing hair, buying dresses and cleaning up messes!
