Not trying to catch up.....

Last night my kids told me they had it all figured out.

My initial reaction was....where is that bag of chocolate chips that I can't find?

Clay: "We are all going to live by each other when we grow up"
Lydia and Henry: heads nodding vigorously.
Lydia: "We are going to live in kid order"
(that's been a big deal lately....oldest to youngest type of thing)
Clay: I will have the biggest house....but it won't be very nice. Lydia will live next door in the medium house and then.....
Henry: and I'll have the smallest house, but it will be the nicest.

I might print out this conversation....
I might emboss it in gold on our kitchen table...
so someday...when clay is 16, lydia is 14 and Henry is 12....and they hate each other's hormonal guts....
I can remind them that they used to be friends.
