On The Bright Side

I was lying waiting for the boy to finally pass out for the night when he says, "Maybe someday I'll have a new mommy and daddy."

What with all the continued death talk, I thought maybe he was now worrying about our future welfare.

"Why do you say that?"

"Just because. Maybe someday I'll have a mommy and daddy that don't count and give time-outs."

"Are you saying you WANT a new mommy and daddy that don't count and give time-outs?"

"Yes."

Speechless.
