Woman

I think I have a bit more understanding for what Mary felt like when Jesus called his mom, "woman."
This morning at breakfast Elie, Jadon and I were enjoying a time of chatter and laughter when Jadon looked over at me and holding up his trash said, "I'm done with these, woman. Throw them away, woman."
When I didn't respond (out of shock) he gave me a huge smile and said, "Woman."
When I finally gathered my whits I said, "Jadon, I'm mom to you." He responded gleefully, "Okay, woman."

Well, at least he has the gender right!
