Reese recalled that during the recent outing, her sons were asked about the most memorable lesson they received from their superstar mom.

In response, one of his sons remarked that their mother always taught them if they ever got "the choice to be normal or the choice to be weird" he would always choose weird as "it's okay to stand out and be different."

While detailing the moving moment, the proud mom stated, "It filled my heart with the deepest joy that he learned that from me."

"It just meant so much to me that my kids know it's okay to be different and that it can end up being their superpower," she added.
