Intelligence Validation

So Wednesday night I was working on my scene design ground plot assignment. Jonathan and Sabrina would switch between watching TV with me(Yes I do my homework in front of the TV. It keeps me with my kids), playing in their room and telling Tim all about their day. So anyway Sabrina came out and sat right next to me. She would look at my drawing, watch me measure then look at me. After doing this 4 or 5 times she looks at me and we have the following conversation....

Sabrina: Mommy?
Me : Yes sweetheart?
(I look at her, she smiles and just looks at me for a few seconds.)
Sabrina: You're really smart mommy. Do you think I can be as smart as you?
Me: (After I got over the shock) Of course you can Sabrina. In fact you will probably be even smarter than mommy one day.
Sabrina: Nobody's smarter that you mommy. I glad you go to school like me. I love you.
After that she gave me a hug, a kiss and ran off to play.

Since Jonathan started school this year I started thinking about all the homework I will help him with in the next 13 years. Of course like most parents I started thinking "will I be able to remember everything and know how to help him or will I let him down?" Well I don't know about the future but at least my children think I'm smart now and want to learn from me.

what better Validation of her intelligence does a mother need?
