Just another conversation on the way home.

Matthew is always asking questions. We have lots of interesting conversations. Today, on the way home from piano, was no exception. I just walked in the door and wanted to write this down before I fogot it.

"Mommy, what is a will?"

"A will is a piece of paper that tells where you want your worldly posessions to go when you die. Sometimes, it tells where you want your kids to live when you die if they are still living at home."

"So, if you and Daddy die, we could sell your cars and get, like, $50 for them?"

"Ummmm, yes."

"So does this mean I could start sleeping in your bed?"

(I am thinking Matthew is putting A LOT of thought into this)

"You wouldn't want to live with another family if we die?"

"NO WAY! I could take care of Thomas and ME."

"How would you do that?"

"I would be nice to them and buy them food and toys."

"How would you get the the store?"

"I would walk or take the bus. Is the bus stop close to here?"

"What about church?"

"I would walk to Nana and Deedah's and they would take us."

"What would you do if ME started throwing up?"

"I would ask Aunt Lauren to take her to the doctor. I would then clean up the mess and put her head by the toilet, but I am stopping if poop comes out of her bottom. Ohhhh, this is going to be hard!"

pause

"I will take them to the mall if they need new shoes. I would do a good job taking care of my house."

My house? He really is a man with a plan. Talk about Party of 3!

Then Thomas chimes in:

"HEY! If you and Daddy die, Buddy and me are in charge OK?"

"Nuh uh!"

"Uh huh!"

Proof positive that given the opportunity, the boys could fight over anything.

"CONVERSATION OVER! Mommy and Daddy plan to be here for a LONG time!"
