Why I love being a mom (part 2)

(Setting: 8 year-old girl and 11-year-old boy are at the kitchen table eating dinner. Mother puts one hand on each child's head and pets.)

MOTHER: You fill me up.

GIRL: What does that mean?

BOY: It means we fill her with happiness ... though I have no idea how that's possible.
