A couple years ago I was sitting at the dinner table surrounded by my sweet little boys. We were having corn on the cob, a family favorite. Suddenly I noticed my 3yr-old staring at me. I smiled at him. He did not smile back.
“What’s wrong, honey?” I asked.
“You have corn all over your face,” he frowned. I laughed and reached for a napkin.
“Well, corn on the cob is kind of messy,” I said. My son looked despondently down at his food, obviously disappointed in me. I heard him mumble, “It’s not right. Moms shouldn’t look like that.”
Clearly I had failed as a mother. I got food on my face and my son could never look at me the same. He literally had to tell me, “Mom…wash your face.”
