We often have the most amusing conversations on the way to school. Maybe the main part is that we are all half asleep and I’m navigating a 4,385 pound mini van precariously through the streets. These are the times that the kids like to catch me off guard with the most probing questions.
List of characters: K1, 12 year old boy, definitely not a morning person; K2, 10 year old girl, treehugger, optimist; K3, 6 year old girl, runs the family; Mom, overwhelmed, greying and tired.
K2: Mom, can I live with you when I grow up?
K1: Dad says when you turn 18 you are out of the house. You’ve got to “Get a life!”
K2: But, I want to live with you, Mommy.
Mom: I’d like you to live with me, I suppose I could charge you rent.
K1: How much would that be, Mom?
Mom: Oh, maybe $1200 a month.
K1: Are you crazy? $1200? For $1200 I could get my own condo or something.
Mom: Do you realize the house across the street is renting for $8000.00 a month? Do the math. You might be able to get a nice condo in Montana.
K1: See you in Montana, Mom!
