She asked me out of the blue this morning while eating her breakfast, "Mom, I don't want you to become my grandma."

"Honey, I am your mother. I will never become your Grandma. " I said.

"But you will. When I grow up, become a mom, you will become my grandma!"

"Well, I will become your children's grandma, if you choose to have children. But I am YOUR mom, forever, even if you become your children's gramdma. I am still your mom. Don't worry. I am always your mom and will always love you..." I am touched by my soft tone and feeling very poetic. I approched her and bended down, ready to give her a hug.

"So, ", she said, "You can spank me whenever you want to?"
