On the Note: Wink back if I’m your favorite.

Mom is sending Rayne to school, as she gets him ready to leave.
Mom: Have a good day.
Mom kisses him on the head, as Rayne shrugs.
Mom: I love you.
Rayne: I love you too.
Rayne: I guess.
Mom is surprised, Rayne responds.
Mom: You guess?
Rayne: I’m not really making an informed decision here, am I?
Rayne continues.
Rayne: How much do I really know you?
Rayne: The real you? Not mom-you?
Mom turns to go back in the house. Rayne waves bye.
Mom: I love you.
Rayne: To the best of my knowledge, I love you too.
