I picked up Marley from preschool on Friday and we were talked about our normal stuff on the ride home. How school was, what she learned, who she played with… you know, the usual. As we began to drive home she asked what school she would go to next. I explained that she would go to elementary school like her friend Natatlie, then middle school like her cousin Logan, then high school like her cousin Sierra, and then college like her cousin Tawni. She was really excited because she loves school so much and can't wait to se what's next. She asked what was next after college. I told her that she gets to do whatever she wants. She could get a job, get married, she would live in her own house, and so on. She immediately asked if her sister Quinny would be leaving with her. I said probably not because Quinny would still be in school, but you never know. Her eyes started to fill with tears and she anxiously squeaked, “...But I can’t live without you, Dada, and Quinny!”
She started to have full on panic attack about how she couldn’t live alone. What if her new house didn’t have a night light? How could she possibly sleep without sharing a room with her sister?. I turned around with tears in my eyes (luckily I had sunglasses on) and I told her that she could live with us forever and ever! She would never have to move out. She of course agreed and said she would never ever ever leave Mama, Dada, and Quinn. It was pretty much the cutest thing ever and I going to hold her to that agreement.
