Thank You

Today, I told June thank you for helping me with something. Not to be one-upped, she thanked me for helping her by being her teacher. My mind flipped to potential elaborations, such as:

• Thank you for teaching me to say "like" 5 times in 1 sentence;
• Thank you for teaching me how to make a major mess;
• Thank you for teaching me how to get stressed out;
• Thank you for teaching me how to overcommit;
• Thank you for teaching me how to talk on the phone.

Instead, she said, "Like thank you for like teaching me like stuff like how the earth like goes around." I know she didn't mean it in any profound sense, but I allow myself such liberties. It's actually a decent summary of my motherly goal.
