[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 that have really stuck with me.

I was playing an ice breaker game with a room of colleagues where they say "who is most likely to..." and everyone answers anonymously. The question was "who is most capable of making something wonderful out of nothing" and it was the only time the responses were unanimous, everyone had said me.

After college I was a nanny for a year. The family live in a beautiful $2M home.  I lived in an almost entirely original 1962 time capsule. The family's home was under construction for a few weeks so I cared for the kids at my house instead. We made cookies, built forts, played hide and seek, had dance parties, made floor beds for movie night. When their house was done and their mom said we'd switch back to being there everyday, the kids both started sobbing and said they wanted to keep coming to mine because they hated their house and that mine was magical.

Just a few weeks ago I took my kids to an MLB game. In the 8th inning, the lady behind me tapped me on the shoulder and said she could hardly watch the game because she was too busy watching what a great parent I was. She said "watching you parent makes me feel the same as my grandmother did" and she was probably in her 70s herself. I actually just lost my grandma 2 weeks prior so we had a nice little cry together at the ballpark.[/quote]
