How my Kindergarten Boy perceives me

I titled this as "how my kindergarten BOY perceives me" because I think Elizabeth had a much better perception of me when she was Alex's age.

Alex brought home my Mother's Day gift which was titled "My Mother's Biography". I am transposing word for word below, it is priceless. The teacher had standard sentences provided, the bold words were written by Alex.

My mother's name is Kathrin.She is 140 cm tall and weighs 90 kg. (For the Americans, that is about 4 1/2 ft tall and 198 lbs)
Her hair color is black and her eyes are blue.
The prettiest thing about my mother is her hair.
My mom is 39 years old and still looks great.
I love my mother because she is my mom.
She gets upset when I play in the sink.
When I am really good, she will let me go to the shop.
When I am at school, my mom watches TV.
I am glad she is my mother because she's my mom.

Now, let's clarify some things......

His spelling on my name was pretty close.
I'm a little taller than 4 1/2 feet (5'9" to be exact) and I only weigh 65 kgs although some days it feels like 90.
My hair is dark brown and my eyes are hazel.....could he be color-blind? Gotta check that out at the next doctor's appointment.
I am 39, he's right there.
He does make a mess when he plays in the sink, but I don't ever remember being really mad about that.
I do take him to the shop when he is good.
TV????? So much for thinking my career was getting in the way of things, apparently I was just watching TV :)

I am so glad he is my son!
