The girls and I have all sorts of conversations on things they are (or are not) going to do when they are X-age or "big like me". Holly gets that there are privileges tied with age; Sarah not-so-much, so it's just adulthood in general. Here are a few choice ones from this weekend:
Holly: When I'm 18, I'm going to college.
Me: Yep, that's right.
H: And... I'm not going to live in your house anymore.
Me: Do you promise? Kidding Holly.... But really, my favorite child is the one who moves out and never moves back in [classic line borrowed from my dad].
H: Good thing I'm your favorite then huh mommy.
Sarah: When I'm big like you mommy, I'm going to have babies in my tummy.
Me, unsure if she's talking about age or size (Sarah is pretty blunt about how fluffy my tummy is compared to Ronnie's): How do you mean Sarah.
S: When I'm old like you, I'm going to be a mommy too.
M: Oh good, I can't wait to be a grandma, Sarah. How many babies.
S: I'm going to have four babies. Two girls and two boys.
M: What are you going to name them?
S: The girls will be named Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash [note, this is after My Little Pony ponies]. The boys will be named Eric and Ken.
M: Interesting, where did you get the names for the boys?
S: It's Ariel's prince and Barbie's boyfriend mommy (with a duh tone in her voice).
So there you have it... one is already planning to leave me for college, the other is wanting to be a mommy.
