pick me!

This morning at breakfast, I asked Tally what she could do to make her day great at school. She had gotten me breakfast and was in a really generous mood (and it was just her and I !) . I suggested she find someone who needed a friend and do something nice for them. She looked at me and in all seriousness, said "mom. That's me."

*heart drop*

I reminded her that she now has a best friend at school. She doesn't sit by her, but they are really good friends. So good that they've been calling each other ALL weekend long! She agreed, but still wished for more friends.

She told me that she had done nice things for her new friend and that's how they became friends. I suggested she pick another person and do nice things for her so she could have more friends. She seemed okay at that idea.

I hope I never hear those words from her again...unless there's news about a totally amazing young lady who is so nice and is always helpful and has done something amazing. Then, I'd love to hear her say "mom. that's me" :)
