well, I'll be...

"Mama, when I turn 5, I'm leaving you to take care of all the pets at Petsmart."

"Leaving me? As in... moving out?"

"Yeah, well - the small pets and the medium pets and the big pets all need food and brushing and you know, all that stuff. So, I'll need to be there all the time."

"Uh...ok. (Inspiration) What about Daddy and me? Five year olds aren't THAT grown up...who will we take care of? We'll be lonely..."

You will just have to take care of yourself from now on and Daddy. You will have to take care of Daddy. You'll be ok. All the pets will take care of me too. Oh, and I'll have to bring Rex (the Christmas Dinosaur) and River (our dog), but you can keep Daddy..."
"I'll visit."


*choking*

"But Mama, that isn't until I'm 5, ok?"

"Your birthday is Monday, you know...?"

"I'll miss you.
It's really all for the best..."

  6. Well, they do grow up fast these days.

    I will say that taking care of animals is a step up from what Taylor wanted to do at that age. Ahem.. grocery bagger. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

  7. That is...really sweet, and really heart-crushing at the same time. I'll have to inform my son he's not allowed to 'leave' me until he's at least, oh, thirty.
