I’ll trade you one mom for a cat! August 23, 2006
Posted by spacemom in : Kids , 4 commentsOn the car ride to daycare this morning, we had the following conversation:
Soleil: Mommy, when are you going so we can borrow a cat?
me: What?
Jay: oh, yeah forgot to tell you about this…
Soleil: When are you leaving so we can borrow a cat?
me: Why would I leave?
Soleil: Because I want to borrow a cat and take care of it and you are allergic.
me: So, the idea is I leave and you get a cat?
Jay (laughing silently)
Soleil: Yes!
Me: Won’t you guys miss me?
Soleil: Well, Luna will be okay because daddy will be here and she doesn’t miss you
Jay (laughs out loud, get slapped in the thigh)
Me: Would you miss me?
Soleil: Well….just a little, but I would have a cat and that would make me happy!
Me: Where would I go?
Soleil: It doesn’t matter. Just anywhere so I could play with a cat!
Lovely, I am being traded for a cat….And yes, I am terribly allergic to cats.
