CBC-Kids plays in the background, running a PSA from musician Kim Stockwood about a program called Positive Parenting. Kim goes on to say the first five years of a child's life are the miracle years, when so much of foundation is laid. I'm agreeing quietly when my seven-year-old turns around in the big comfy chair and sets her brilliant blue eyes on me:
--Mom, you don't need to worry about that.
I'm thinking, Cool, does she feel like she had a good first five years? Is this turning into a You're a good Mom moment?
My daughter continues.
--Unless you get pregnant in the next five minutes. Which you won't.
Pleased, she turns back to CBC-Kids.
