it all began as we were 1 in front of the bathroom mirror, me fixing amanda's fine, blonde hair. i was putting in the final 2 of a spunky pair of ponytails and finished with, "i love you, amanda." "and, i love you," she replied. "oh, yeah," i 3. "well, i love you more." her eyes lit up as she recognized the cue for the start of another "i love you more" match. "nuh-uh," she laughed, "i love you the most." "i love you bigger than a volcano!" i countered-a favorite family phrase in these battles of love. "but, mom, i love you from here to china." a country she's learning about thanks to our new neighbors up the street.usually we volleyed back and 4 a few favorite lines. "i love you more than peanut butter." "well, i love you more than television." "i even love you more than bubble gum." it was my turn again, and i made the move that usually brings victory. "too bad chickadee. i love you bigger than the universe!" on this day, however, amanda was not going to give up. i could see she was thinking. "mom," she said in a quiet voice, "i love you more than myself." i stopped. dumbfounded. overwhelmed by her 5. here i thought that i knew more than she did. i thought i knew at least everything that she knew. but i didn't know this. my four-year-old daughter knows more about love than her twenty-eight-year-old mom. and somehow she loves me more than herself. christie a. hansen
