Um, what?

I wish for the life of me I could recall what Mark, Sam and I were discussing, but Sam was sitting next to me on the couch and in response to something we said, she said, “When I have my own children, I will….” What she would do, I can’t remember for the life of me. I think I have blanked it all out. The thought of Sam being old enough to have kids is mind blowing. And it surprised me because until now, every time I have even casually mentioned when she has her own kids, she completely would put a kibosh on that idea and tell me she wasn’t having any. I guess being a mom doesn’t look so bad after all. We tried to follow up on the conversation and did determine that if she could choose, she wants a girl, but she wouldn’t tell us what name she would pick. Oh boy. Sam as a mom. Frightening, because of how old I will be, but also awesome. I want her to get married, have kids, have a family of her own. We have so little family here in the area that I want her to create her own family when she grows up so that she always feels surrounded by people she loves. Maybe she will choose a partner with a whole houseful of brothers and sisters. That would be so nice for her. Sam will be the best mom, I just know it. There is no way she could not be. She is so kind, so thoughtful, so sweet. And she is protective of those she loves. Can’t ask for much more than that.
P.S. If I had to guess, I would bet that Mark and I were telling her she couldn’t do something and she was saying when she has her own kids she will be able to boss them around. Just a guess based on past conversations. A good guess. Trust me.
