Are You Thankful?
A conversation in the bathroom:
Tatum, going potty: "You know momma, one day I am going to have to go bye-bye."
Me: "What?"
Tatum: "Soon...Hazel and I will have to go, but you and daddy will have to stay here. You and daddy will be crying. And you'll say 'noooo', but we have to. Hazel and I have to go."
Me: speechless - stunned
Tatum: "Are you thankful?
Me: "Am I thankful?"
Tatum: "Yes, are you thankful?"
Me: "Yes, I am. I am very thankful."
Goodness! My three-year-old daughter is already prepping me for the day she'll leave the house. I assume this realization came from her watching and understanding the plot of Toy Story 3. Andy had to go to college, and one day Tatum and Hazel will too. We have 15 years before any of that happens, and I am thankful.
