“Mom, if you hadn’t married Dad what kind of guy would you have married?” Nathaniel asks me out of the blue after I pick him up from school today.
“I have no idea.” I answered, having no idea where this came from and not sure where it’s going.
“Someone hot?” Rachael pipes in.
“Hot?” I ask…loudly….very loudly.
“Someone cool?” Nathaniel adds.
“Someone with cool shoes.” Rachael decides.
“Definitely someone who drives a sweet car.”
“Someone funny!”
“Hey, I married your dad and he’s very funny and he’s very cool.”
“Yeah but his shoes aren’t cool.”
“So, exactly when was I supposed to meet this hot, cool guy with the cool shoes and the sweet car?”
“I think you would have had a lot of crushes, Mom.”
“Thanks, Rachael.”
