X: Mom, this dinner is delicious.
Me: Thanks, X.
X: You mean Tommy (yes, he has currently changed his name- again....think he got this from me....ask, I'll tell you the story some time.)
Me: oh right, sorry- Tommy.
Tommy: Mama, I just wanted you to know that while daddy has been gone you have been doing some good parenting- even though you are alone.
Me:...Thanks Tommy.
