That's What Friends Are For

Me: If you rub food on the couch one more time, I'm putting you in time out.

Little Boo: But I love you, Mommy. You're my friend.

Me: Well, I don't want to be your friend when you act this way.

Little Boo: But you're my bestest friend. I love you the most the best.

Me: A good friend doesn't make messes. A good friend does nice things. It makes me sad when I have to clean a mess.

Little Boo: Don't be sad in your eye.
