The Future According To Payton


The day after my last post about Payton and her fears of college we had the following conversation in the car.

Payton (in an almost startled voice): Mommy, when are we going to make me a car?!

ME (very confused): What, why would we make you a car? We don't make cars, we buy them, but why?

Payton: I'm gonna need one to go live at school!

After trying to explain that was a long time away we moved on. From there we had a deep conversation that moved from school, to her house, to her being a mommy and of course her having 2 little girls, and deciding that Parker would live in the house next door and be her neighbor. Living near Mommy & Daddy somehow lost it's priority level from the night before. In fact, she wasn't even sure if she'd know the way to get to our house anymore once she realized that Parker could be her neighbor.
