I love being a mom because I SERIOUSLY adore my child. Every day I learn something new. Just this week, I’ve learned that Pluto is not a planet, but a big block of floating space ice; that if a boy kisses you on the right cheek, it means he loves you, on the left, he wants to marry you (suddenly, the last 20 years make sense); that temporary tattoos require the strength of five Russian weightlifters and a small amount of C4 to remove; and that one can never, ever have enough paper hearts. — Darcy, mommypie.wordpress.com
