On the drive home today, there were a few Max and Luke jems I never want to forget:
Max: Mom, when I'm sixteen, can I have a bow and arrow?
Me: Sure. Why not? What do you want them for?
Max: So I can hunt in the South American rainforest. That's how the people who live there do it. Sounds good to me!
Me: Luke, you can't just touch the buttons on the new phone - it will actually call someone.
Luke: But Mom, when I'm sixteen can I dial the phone?
Me: Sure, kiddo. No problem.
Luke: Mom, when I go to college, I am going to go with Max.
Max: And you can come visit us.
Me: Really? You'll let me visit?
Max: Sure - you could go to college then, too. Then you could get a new job.
Me: What kind of new job could I get?
Max:You can do whatever makes you happy.
Man, I love these kids.

Yes, Mom, you can do whatever makes you happy. What makes me happy, however, is having these wonderful insights into the lives of the people I love most! Thank you!
Awww...love those boys. Hope I get to hear stuff like that soon from our backseat.
I love that you are writing all this down. It's so wonderful to look back in future years and remember the sweet sayings that otherwise would have been forgotten.
