Car-versations: Planning for the future.

In the car, on our way to the wading pool:

Meg: “Mom, when you and Dad are dead, and Aunt Stephanie is dead, can Uncle Ben be our Daddy?”

Mom: “………..Holy cow, Megan.”

[It is important to interrupt here and point out that she just met Uncle Ben for the first time last week.]

Megan: “I can’t wait!”

Mom: “You can’t wait till Daddy and I are dead?”

Megan: *sigh* “Yeah. I can’t wait till Uncle Ben is my Uncle when you’re dead.”

Mom: “Meg, Uncle Ben is going to be your uncle when he and Aunt Stephanie get married. No one has to die.”

Glad to know she’s going to be just fine in the event of my untimely death. “For every negative there is a positive,” and so on.

Imperfect Parent: Did you know that every time you click on one of my articles at Imperfect Parent, an angel gets its wings? and I make about 1/8th of penny? But, you know, do it for the angels.

A fellow blogger (I Miss You When I Blink) has started a tumblr site that have all the weird and freaky-deeky search terms people use to get to blogs. A few of us have contributed, and they are pretty awesome.  It’s hilarious…….in a scary and tragic way. Check it out: Search Party.
