Compliment Fail

One of the best gifts a Mom has is the ability to hear the sincerity of a young child's heart despite whatever happens to come out of their precious mouths.  Like at supper tonight, when Sam so sweetly said "Mom, if God didn't make me to have taste buds then I would like everything you make!".

Tact... we're gonna work on that... soon.
