From an Old Soul, Age 4
We were on the way home from family/margarita night, and I was feeling much lighter than I had an hour ago. Which left me in a far better frame of mind for Max's backseat volley:
"Don't you think you'd be happier if you had only one child?"
This is one of those moments when you turn the question on the questioner. But before I could, Boo piped up from the other booster seat.
"No, Mommy Wouldn't!!!"
Returning to Socrates: "So Max, can you tell me more about what you're thinking???"
"Well, I think you would, because then you wouldn't have to do as many dishes."
Okay, now that makes some sense to me.
Boo's parry: "Yeah, but you wouldn't have as much love."
More dishes, more love. That's an easy trade-off.
Easy-peasy.
