Last night as I was putting Lydia to bed, she started crying. "I don't want to move out when I'm 18." It seems she wants to live in our house forever. I assured her she doesn't ever have to move out and she can live with us forever.
Then she asked me what will happen when she goes to college. I told her there are plenty of colleges around here and she can go to one of them and still live with us! She seemed relieved by this.
Then she asked what will happen if she wants to go to a different college that's far away. "Can you come with me?" YES! I assured her that I would go with her to college.
"You can do that?"
"Yeah, why not?"
"You already went to college."
"Yes, but I can go again!"
"They'll let you do that?"
"YES!"
"Yay! So you can come to college with me and give me kisses?"
"Yes, I'll go to college with you and give you kisses!"
Then she was concerned about how she will get to college.
"Do buses go to college?"
"No, but you'll be old enough to drive."
"Can you just drive me?"
"Yes, I will drive you to college and give you kisses."
I will remind her of this in 12 years.
