Putting me in my place

Over dinner this evening:

"Mama, you're the best cook in the world!"

"Ah, thank you JJ. That really makes me happy."

"But not the best mother."

"Oh. Hmm."

"'Cos sometimes you shout at me and you never come out of your office."

"But... [feebly] I DO come out of my office. I'm here more than Dad is."

"Yes, but he's the best daddy in the world."
