Today my youngest son said to me, "Mommy, I really wish I had a sister."

What I wanted to say:

Shut your mouth, you insensitive little twerp!  You think I'm thrilled your sister died?  You think I enjoy watching everyone around me have daughters, knowing I never will?  Take the knife and twist it why don't you?

What I actually said: 

I know sweetie. That's why God gave you girl cousins to play with.  You'll have plenty of time to get to know your sister in heaven.  Just be thankful you have a brother.  Now eat. Your breakfast is getting cold.
