My new ring

 - by Brittany

Jameson came home from church on Sunday telling us we need to Choose the Right. He even had a new CTR ring to show off. Well, once we got home, he told me , “Mom, you need to choose the right and not put me in time out.” Oh really kid. So my response was, “Well, if you choose the right we won’t have to put you in time out.” So he then tells me he has a ring for me. I asked him if he wanted to keep it, since it was given to him. Nope. He wanted me to have it. He said, “No, Mom. This is your ring. Here, I’ll put it in your jewelry box.” And off he went.

Then today, he tells me I need to wear my ring. Jameson told me, “Mom, you don’t need to wear those rings anymore (my wedding ring), I got you a ring.” I convinced him that I could wear it on the other hand.

I was really trying to convince him that he should keep it, because, honestly, I really don’t want a green finger. But, I know why he wants me to wear it. See, when he asked about my wedding ring, I tell him it’s a special ring. I point to each ring and tell him, “This ring means Daddy loves me (my engagement ring), and this ring means we’re married (the wedding band). So, it was no surprise that he wants to give me a ring. I’m just really hoping I can keep my finger from turning green from the fake metal.

Sometimes, Jameson does have a sweet side.
