Best Friends Bracelets
"Can I ask you something, mom?" Kurt asked, while watching his mother cooking their lunch.
"Sure, baby. What is it?" She answered, checking the sauce; mrs. Hummel sauce is the best in town, but thanks to Kurt who suggested to add capers to it.
"Who's your best friend?"
"My best friend?" She asked, thinking it was a strange question and reflecting about where had it come from.
"Yes. Today at school, the teacher asked us who our best friends were. And everyone had a best friend at class, but me... And out task for the day was making a best friends bracelets, with our best friends..."
"Oh, baby..." Mrs. Hummel said, leaving her spot at the stove for a second to check on her son, it was when she saw them, lying on the table, two colorful bracelets, one with her name and the other with her son's name. Mrs. Hummel had no reaction to that, it was adorable and she loved it so much "Am I your best friend, Kurt?"
Kurt just nodded with a smile. Mrs. Hummel stared at him with teary eyes, she never thought that he'd say that she was his best friend, his mother.
"Don't cry, mommy!" Kurt said and ran to hug her "I thought you'd be happy about it..."
"I am, Kurt! I'm more than happy, I'm flattered!" She said and picked her seven-year old son on her arms and hugging him.
"Then why you're crying?" The little boy asked confused
"Because I'm very, very moved" Mrs. Hummel kissed her son's head.
After putting her son on the floor, she put the bracelet with his name and stared at it like it was made of diamonds.
"So, who's you best friend?" Kurt asked again, putting his bracelet, with his mother's name.
"You, Kurt. You're my best friend forever!"
