Grandboy (waving his hands over one of my contact juggling balls): Grandpaaaaa I’m reeeadinnnng yourrrr fortuuuuuune…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Oh that’s nice. Is it good fortune?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy (same voice): In fifteen years… you’ll meet the love of your life. And you’ll have babies. A boy and a girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: Huh. That would be interesting. That means your momma could have a baby sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Yah! A baby sister.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: And that means you’ll have a new aunt. Just like your uncles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy (thinking)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: And you can help change your aunt’s diapers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy (mind blown): Wait a minute. I’D BE CHANGING MY AUNT’S DIAPERS. She’s supposed to be older than me. BUT SHE’D BE A BABY<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me: So maybe I shouldn’t have any new babies. That would just confuse everyone, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandboy: Yah Grandpa that would be confusing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
