James: "We need to have kids. I’m running out of TV
shows that I can watch by myself."
Me: "That is a horrible reason to start a family."
Me: "That is a horrible reason to start a family."
James [glaring]: "It is totally legitimate."
[I ignore him and continue reading]
James: "Jessa! I can’t get into Lego Discovery Land in Kansas
City unless I borrow someone else's kids!"
Me: "Why?"
James: "Because you have to have a kid to get in and I don't know very many kids right now!"
[slight pause]
James: "But I guess that’s not their fault."
Me: "The answer is still no."
James [pouting]: "If being able to get into Lego Discovery
Land isn’t reason enough to have kids,
then nothing is!"
[pause]
Me: "Do you think about the words you say before they come
out of your mouth?"
James [lightly]: "No, because I would get bored…’cause I’d
already know what I was going to say."
