"Do you want to hear me count to 100?"

Whenever Badger asks me that question I cringe. The voices in my head scream, "No! No! No!" But the words out of my mouth are, "I would love to." Isn't that what a loving, encouraging, teaching mother says?

And then it begins... "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...ect." He follows me all around the house counting. And if he would happen to forget a number or skip a number or "mess-up" then he starts all the way from the beginning. I guess I should count my lucky stars (since I don't believe in luck there wouldn't be that many) that he hasn't asked if I want to hear him count to 1000!
