Current Kicks (updated!)*

*4 diet ginger-ale.

Conversations

While coming home from white hot chocolate on a Sunday afternoon:

Dexter: I've been thinking a lot about dying lately.

Me: oh? and what were you thinking?

Dexter: what it feels like.

Me: while, I don't know what it feels like. I've never died before.

Dexter: well duh, you're standing right here!

(Neville snickers)

Me: I was making a joke hahahaaaaaa....So what do you think it feels like?

Dexter: like slowing becoming someone else.

Me: So you think we live again?

Dexter: yeah, the next generation is us after we die.

Me: Well, my little Buddha, that is called reincarnation.

Dexter: Well that's what I believe in. Can I play on the computer when I get home?

Conversations

Telephone rings.

Me: hello?

Phone: hello? hello mommy??

Me: yes? 

Phone: I was wondering if I could have a brownie??

Me: well, dinner is almost ready but yeah, sure go a......

Phone: eruptions of screaming excitement from children too numerous to count.

Line goes dead.

Nightmare #389

Last night I dreamed I was super pregnant. And like any horrific nightmare, I got my logical brain involved, rationed how it was impossible, and that when I woke up (and please woman, open your eyes, open your eyes!) I would not be pregnant. 

But the thought of going through another childbirth and toddlerhood is still haunting me. 

I still remember

I'd have gone wherever you wanted.

Conversations

Duncan: "I love you Lewis."

Lewis: "I love daycare."
