Funny Stuff - BY SCOUT STARKS

TODAY I HEADED TO WAL-MART TO PICK UP SOME STUFF FOR DEVIN. I WAS IN A HURRY, BUT I PROMISED SCOUT AND DALEY THAT I WOULD TAKE THEM "IN" TO TACO BELL TO GET A QUICK BURRITO - IT IS ALWAYS A SPECIAL TREAT TO GO INSIDE A FOOD PLACE, CAUSE WE NEVER DO HARDLY EVER.

SO, AS WE ARE WAITING FOR OUR BURRITOS WE START HAVING THIS LITTLE CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THE KIDS WANT TO BE WHEN THEY GET BIG. WELL, AS USUAL SCOUT SAYS, "I WANT TO BE A DADDY." TO WHICH I SAY, "SO, HOW MANY KIDS DO YOU WANT TO HAVE?". HE RAISES ALL FIVE FINGERS ON HIS ONE HAND AND SAYS - "FIVE". SO, I SAY, "BOYS OR GIRLS?" AND HE SAYS, "I WANT 5 GIRLS AND THEN I THINK 5 BOYS AND I WILL GIVE THE 5 BOYS TO YOU MOM.". I LAUGHED AND SAID, "WELL, WE WILL SEE HOW YOUR WIFE FEELS ABOUT THAT, AND BY THE WAY... I WANT TO BE A GRANDMA WHEN I GROW UP, SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP ALL OF YOUR KIDS WITH YOU, OKAY?" SO HE THINKS AND SAYS, "I THINK I JUST WANT 5 KIDS STILL.". I AGREED. HE IS A SILLY BOY, BUT HE SURE DOES THINK ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS.

FUNNY THING THOUGH - LATER ON WHEN WE CAME HOME - SCOUT CHANGED HIS MIND - NOT ABOUT WANTING 5 KIDS BUT HE DECIDED HE WANTED 2 BOYS AND 3 GIRLS - I THINK I LIKE HIS PLAN - SO HOPEFULLY HIS FABULOUS WIFE WILL AGREE :).
