Field Trip

Danny and I are so much alike, and we tend not to get along. He prefers my husband and will always choose him over me when holding hands, going with them in the car, etc. (Except on the rare occasions when I'm alone and Danny chooses me.) (They actually all prefer Daddy, but Danny has always preferred Dan, whereas Liam and Eve pick me sometimes.)
Yesterday, he asked me one of the sweetest things. And even though I have school, I had to say yes.
Both the Kindergartners (Danny) and the Pre-Kindergartners (Liam) are heading to a farm for a field trip next week.
When I arrived to pick Danny up on Friday, the first thing he asked me, after he gave me a big hug, was "Will you please go on my field trip with me?!?"
I originally declined because my last week of classes is this upcoming week and I need all the time I can, especially with Pharmacology, which I would be missing. He was so devastated that I said "No." So after some thought, I e-mailed his teacher and offered to chaperone. She has yet to e-mail me back with an answer, but that's not the point.
Danny wanted me. He always prefers other people, and we obviously love each other, but we butt heads.
It was nice to feel his love.
