A dinner conversation:

Daddy: Marissa will help you with your jam, Elijah.

Marissa: I think this time he should do it himself so he can learn how.

Emily: I think so, too. Nobody’s going to spread his jam for him when he’s a grown-up?

Elijah: When I’m a grown-up I’m going to marry Mommy, and she can help me.

Daddy: But I’m already married to Mommy. What am I going to do?

Elijah: You can come live with us.

Daddy: Thanks.

Elijah: And guess what? We’re going to have red floors so when we spill smoothie on the floor, nobody has to clean it up.

At four he has all the answers.

Time spent around the dinner table chatting with family is always time well spent. Savor the moment.
