Top 10 reasons...

...why Zoe loves her mom.

Zoe must have been instructed to take home this lovely list on Friday, but if I know my daughter, she left it at school out of complete caution, not knowing if her teacher was telling her the truth that Sunday was, indeed, Mother's Day.

It was a fill-out form, and her exact answers are after the ellipses.

10. I love my mom because she reads me... a book.

9. I love my mom because she helps me... lrin how to cook.

8. I love my mom when she makes me laugh by... tell me a joke and tickil me.

7. I love my mom because she taught me how to... cook.

6. I love to hear my mom sing... a soge.

5. I love my mom because she finds time to... play.

4. I know my mom cares because she... play with me and Jacob and she loves me.

3. I know my mom is smart because... she loves me.

2. I love my mom because she works so hard at... taking care of me.

1. I love my mom because she's the best mom ever.

Yeah, that last one was filled in already, but I'll take it. Zoe always says I'm the best mom she ever had, which is kind of close. In her mind.
