They were probably very proud! :) And also, what a lovely, cozy story. It's familiar to a lot of us, I would imagine. What a wonderful gift you gave your parents!

It took me years to convince my kids that I really didn't need breakfast in bed on special mornings. Lovely story. Aww brings back memories indeed of weak tea and soggy toast.

When my daughter was four, I became ill for several days, one day she brought me toast with sugar and cinnamon, lots of sugar and cinnamon! She was so proud of herself! Just like you! Merry Christmas! I'm having to share my daughters computer with her and my two grandkids, so I'm a little delayed in reading and posting. Lovely story!
