Definition of "Mom"

OK- so I posted a picture on Facebook of this perfect grilled cheese sandwich cut into triangles. Here's why....

When I was a kid, I thought that being a mom meant you could make perfect grilled cheese sandwiches and you'd ALWAYS use the spatula to smush them real flat and then cut them into triangles. Anyone who knows me, knows I can't cook. No, not even grilled cheeses.  I ALWAYS burn the first one. I've been making them since I was like 12 and EVERY time I burn the first one. Not on purpose. I try not to. It just always happens. To the trash it goes and grilled cheese #2 is usually pretty good. I put Gage down for his nap today and decided I would like a grilled cheese for lunch.  I got my 4 pieces of bread out (remember, 2 of them will be going in the trash....) and started buttering.  Much to my surprise- I DIDN'T BURN IT! I did it perfectly. PERFECTLY, people!!!! I took it out of the pan. Smushed it with the spatula and cut it into triangles. I stood there and looked at it, feeling ever so proud. :)  I'M A MOM!!! ....Now if my son only ate grilled cheese sandwiches...  Maybe someday he will. :)
