Jake doesn't have much faith in the power of Mommy but at least he respects my arts and crafts skills

Jake hasn't brought it up again today but last night before he went to bed he crawled into my lap and told me again that he didn't want to be a skeleton. I promised him that Mommy would never let that happen.

Jake: How?

Me: I'll use my special mommy powers to protect you.

Jake: But how will that protect me?

Me: Because a Mommy can do anything.

Jake: But what if my skin falls off anyway?

Me: Then I'll sew it back on for you.

Jake: I don't like needles! They're sharp.

Me: Then I'll glue it back on for you.

And for some reason that seemed to pacify him (at least for now).
