Buckets

I had a crappy day at work - some evil coworker sent me a nasty email.  So I get home and pick Wm up at the bus stop and as we're walking back, he asks me how my day was.  I told him that a lady was mean to me, but that my friend Mel took me out to lunch and made me feel better.  Wm says, "it sounds like the mean lady is a bucket dipper and Mel is a bucket filler."  I ask what a bucket dipper is and Wm says, "when someone is mean to you, then take away from your good feelings bucket - and when they are a bucket filler, they do things to make you happy and fill up your bucket with good feelings."  I thought that was super cute.  Then Wm says, "you know, my whole life you have been a bucket filler for me."  Yeah.  *tear*  That kid is totally getting ice cream tonight.  Jeni's even.
