Aren't little kids the best?! I love what they have to say.

Along the lines of cute things said, here's another one-liner from Aaron.

This morning Mark took Aaron with him to The Home Depot. Apparently there was a women in the parking lot that needed help lifting a heavy box into her car. Mark went over and helped her out. As they were walking away, Aaron turned to Mark and said, "I get it, Dad. Other women are special too, not just Mom."
You see, Mark is always telling the boys and reminding them to treat their mother like a princess. Today Aaron learned that all women are princesses too.

That is so sweet! I love that Mark is teaching your sons through words, and especially by example, of his love and respect for you, his mother and all women. Seems a rare thing in this day and age. Go Mark. And go Aaron for that little "light bulb" moment that all women are special!
