Poor Mommy

I took the kids to the library for story time and to check out new books yesterday. The Boy has a new fascination with Transformers and asked the librarian if she had a Transformers book. She hit the jackpot with an over-sized, 30 page documentation of one of the movies. He was thrilled. As we waited for our turn to check out our books, we had the following conversation:

The Boy: "Mommy, how much do you like Transformers?"
Me: "Not as much as you, sweetheart."
The Boy: "No, Mommy, how much?"
Me: (realizing that he wanted a quantitative answer) "One."
The Boy: (a shocked and disbelieving look, then a pitying look) "That's not very much."

I can just imagine his facial expressions. They are always so good.
