The words "I love you" are very powerful, and when I hear my children say, "I love you mommy" it can
absolutely melt my heart. All whining and diapers are forgotten and they are perfect once again.

However, I witnessed an event today that makes me wonder about what "I love you" REALLY means to a two
year old.

Rebecca was sitting in a restaurant with me. She caressed her ice-tea with one hand, and said, "I love my juice".
And then she sighed longingly, and gently said, " I love you ice-tea."

It took everything in me to not pee myself, I was laughing so hard.
I may forever question how much it means, when she says she loves me because hey.....she also loves ICE-TEA!
