Kid's Say

Last night as we were driving into Cochrane to go choose paint colors, carpet and hardwood for our house in town, the kids started having an interesting discussion:

Lucy: "Mom, did you know that I won't live with you forever?"
Me: "Oh?"
Lucy:"yeah, like, when I'm a kid I'll still live with you. And when I'm a teenager. But when I get married, I will live somewhere else with my husband."
Max: "No!"
Lucy: "Yes Max, it's true. Just like how Sarah moved out of Grandma and Papa's house when she married Tyson."
(This is a sore point for Max. It's the only downside to an otherwise very glorified view of Uncle Tyson)
Lucy: "You have 2 choices when you get married. Either the boy moves in with the girl, or the girl moves in with the boy."
Max: "Well, Grandma married Papa and they still live at Grandma and Papa's house."
Lucy: "That's true. Mom, was it Grandma's house, or Papa's house before they got married?"
Me: "They bought it together"
Lucy: "Oh! So there's 3 choices. You can buy a house together AFTER you get married too!"
Max: (I imagine he is picturing going to the store and 'buying' a house) *giggle* "You can't just buy a house! You can go to the store and buy the pieces to MAKE a house though." pause "that would take a LOT of pieces!"
Lucy: "It must be hard work to put all the pieces together..."

By this time we had arrived, but I was dying on the inside. Kids are so funny. At least to me.

And look at this handsome. He doesn't say much, but he's sure cute.
