Most recently, I was talking to my daughter about my boyfriend and I said 'well, I guess he loves me.' And she turned to me with this look of incredulity on her face and said, 'of course he does, mom, you're fucking awesome.'
Most of my best compliments come from my kids. And as far as I'm concerned, they're the only compliments that matter.
