Has anyone ever wondered at what age we are grown ups? Is it legal age? Is it when we graduate high school? Graduate college? Get married? Well, I have heard the answer.
Sterling and his girlfriend, Natalie, got into the van a week or so ago, and informed me that they were going to get married. But that they could not get married until they were grown up. I, being the good mom that I am, asked if they knew when they would be grown up. They both answered that they would be grown up when they were five, and then they could get married.
Now as I sat contemplating this, I realized that Natalie'g birthday was the next week and Sterling's is the end of May. Does that mean they will be moving out? Will I still have to help him get dressed and tie his shoes? How will they pay for the apartment or house they will live in? And who in the world is going to make sure that the monsters and creepy things are not in the apartment or house? I don't really see either one of them taking this on.
As we told the story when we went to Oklahoma last week, Sterling was asked when he was getting a job. He appeared horrified at the thought of a JOB. Then he decided his job would be to be married to Natalie. He also informed Jay-Pa that he could not have "stubble" on his face until he was a Daddy.
Kids just say the dardest things.
