Popularity

I'm not sure who is the most popular person in our family. But I'm pretty sure who is the least. Three scenes from today:
..........................

Decorating the house for Christmas:

Me: Oh no! We only have three stocking holders.
Carter: This one is for John, this one is for me, and this one is for Daddy!
............................

At Five Guys, where we were having lunch. We are standing at the self-serve drinks. Carter is holding three empty cups, one of which had been dropped on the floor.

Carter: Looks at the cups. This is the one that fell on the floor. Here, mom. This one is yours.
..........................

At dinner, Carter is talking about his imaginary animal friends.

Carter: I have infinity friends. Daddy has one hundred friends.... Mommy has one.
...........................

This was not an unusual day. Always the odd woman out around here.

I completely empathize...remember when Thomas' family portrait drawn at school was mysteriously missing the mommy? Yeah...

When Robert was about three, he snarled one morning: "No, Mommy! You go to office, Daddy stay home!!"
