Afternoon Talks

Little A: "Mommy, when I become a Daddy can I have kids?"
Me: [wondering where this conversation started] "Yes, but only when you're finished school and get a job."
Little A: "Ok, is that when I'm a big boy and all growed up?"
Me: "That's right."
Little A:  "Will I find a wife like you? That would be nice."
Me: "Sure and I love you."
Little A: [smiling] "Since I can't get married, can I learn how to drive the car then?"
Me:  "Sorry, you can't drive until you're 19."
Little A:  "Wow, I can't wait!" [excited as if it was going to happen tomorrow]
