On 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.
