Loverboy Curtis

A recent conversation:

Curtis:  Mom, can the mom sometimes be older than the dad, or is the dad always older?

Me:  (smiling) Sometimes the mom is older, sometimes the dad is older, sometimes they're the same age.

Curtis:  (relieved)  Oh, good, because when I marry Paige she'll be older, and if we were the only ones where the mom is older, I'd be a misfit!  [someone has been watching too much "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer"]

[Paige is 7 or 8 years older than Curtis.  We had a conversation about how old she'd be when he's 12, when he's 19, etc.]

Curtis:  Mom, I just don't want to have a job when I grow up.

Me:  Why not?

Curtis:  Because I just love Paige so much, I'll just want to stay home and be with her all the time and not go to work.

So then we planned how he could have an office at home, and his schedule could be work for an hour, go play with his kids and wife for 5 hours, and then go back to work for an hour.

What a sweet little husband and father!
