The Depth of Gavin's Love

Every night...no that's not accurate...several times a day, Gavin and I have the following discussion:

G: Mom, I love you.

M: I love you too, Gavin.

G: I love you the most.

M: I love you the most too.

G: I love you better than the most.

M: OK...

G: I love you better than the mostest most!!!!!

M: OK, Gavin.

So the other night, I was taken off guard when I kissed Gavin goodnight and he didn't start with the normal banter. Instead he whispered to me:

G: Mommy, come here. I have to tell you somefin.

M: Yes, Gavin?

G: (Long pause) I love you more than God, but don't tell Him...it will hurt His feelings!

What a sweet boy I've got!
