"Mom..."

"Mom, were you nervous when you got married?"
"Nope."
"How long do you have to kiss, when you get married?"
"As long as you want. There isn't a certain time period that you have. Your dad and I kissed like this.... (he backed away, but then I just pecked him on the kisser.)
"Really? You can kiss that fast when you get married?"
Yep, it's up to you."
Oh....OK." "Mom, does it hurt when you have a baby?
"Yep, but it's worth it. It pretty darn cool to look and see what I created, my own flesh and blood."
"I have your flesh and blood."
"Well, not exactly, but I made you!"
"Yeah, that's pretty cool."
"Mom, sometimes, I have a hard time breathing....."
Can I just tell you that this kid cracks me up? He will get his backpack and carry it all around the house with him, so that he can have his "special stuff" with him wherever he goes. He hides his money in 3 seperate places in the house, up in his closet, and up above the cupboards in the kitchen. He actually has to get on the counters and reeeeaaach until he feels his money stash. His thrid place is an undisclosed drawer in his room. This way if Rider gets one of his stashes, he won't get it all!
He is constantly, and I mean constantly asking me how much things cost; IE: weddings, wedding rings, rent, a house payment, college, food, the clothes he wears, the toys he plays with. He is already preparing, and might I say, worried, about the ability to afford such things. It's sweet, but I want to alleviate the worry from him somehow. I tell him I will help him, when he needs it, and I tell him about the jobs that pay well, to help prepare him and alleviate worry.

He is 8 and he has been doing this since I can remember. I am just glad that he doesn't have an ulcer!!!

I love each one of my kids personalities. I love the things that make them tick.

Worrying about such things doesn't come natural to me! That is another thing that makes me laugh, is that he didn't get this from me:)
