The space between...

 
I was awoken abruptly in the middle of the night to the sounds of Max calling out "Mama...! Mama...!"
 
My response?  "Uhhhhhhhhhh."
 
Undeterred I next heard him say, "MOMMY! Can I open the light? I need to SHOW you something...!"
 
My response? "Uhhhhhhhhh."
 
*light flicks on and I crack open my eyes to see a $5.00 bill waving in my face by the most excited little 6 year old bearing the widest toothless smile on the planet*
 
"SHE CAME MOMMY...! SHE CAME!"
 
I quickly went from groaning to trying to stop my tears of joy at the sight of my sweet and innocent child.  In that moment I did what any loving mother would do:
 
I pulled him into my bed, kissing the top of his head and telling him with utmost sincerity that I am very excited for him followed by, "Now let's shush and go back to sleep..."
 
*snores*
