Me: I can’t believe you’re eight. You’ll be twelve, then sixteen, then going off to college and getting married. You’re going to leave me and I can’t take it!
MP: Mama. I’m not going to leave you. I’m not going to get married, and I want to be HOME-colleged. You and dad can teach me.
Me: Really? You won’t move off and live with Brooke and Jemi, and get your own apartment, and drive around town and stay up late?
MP: Oh. You made that sound really fun. I guess I will.
Oh my goodness…..she doesn’t miss a beat, does she??? She is soooo you!
Amanda and Jeanette will not let Brooke and Jemi leave home and Rachel can’t go either.
She’s a sharp young lady.
Sorry Jemi and Brooke. Rachel is living with cousin Alex until she is older enough to…um….hmmm….she’s living with me until a rich, hansome man comes along and promises to support her and her crazy family. Yep all 2587454516464616 of us.
