While driving around in the car tonight listening to the radio, the boys and I heard a commercial about college. Jacob asked, "Why do we have to go to college?" I bypassed his question as I know this topic brings him great anxiety and replied that he didn't have to go to college for a long, long time. He insisted, "But why do we
have to go to college?" I then explained that going to college helps people get ready to have jobs. He burst into tears and exclaimed, "But you can't
play in college! (sob, sob, sob) I'm
never going to college. (gulp, sob, gulp) I want to play!" Matthew forcefully told him that you need a job to have money for food and a place to live and other stuff. Jacob shot back through his tears, "Well,
I want to
play and
I want to
live with mom!" I couldn't help myself from laughing as I tried to console him. I'm sure I won't be giggling when he's 35, still living at home and playing with his trains up in the playroom. But for now, he's pretty darn cute.

I'm with Jacob. Maybe I'll go back and live with my mom...oh wait, she's in another country!
Ha ha ha. I'm not going to lie, it sounds kind of fun to live at home and play with my mom all the time. Jacob has things figured out.
He just loves you Kim!! So sweet. I'm not going to lie, there was a time (when I was about 2) that I was convinced I was going to marry my dad or Darin, because heaven help me, I wasn't leaving!
OK, I came looking for a hat post, but found much, much more. Great posts the past few months!(where have I been)I love your descriptions. When I grow up I want to write like Kim. Love and miss you guys.
