I don’t know whether it’s because my daughter is approaching the wise old age of 10, but she is keeping us updated on her long term plans.
Mum, I’d like to get another piercing when I’m 15.
… we agreed we’d discuss it when she’s 18.
Mum, I’m not going to get married until I am 50.
Marvellous – plenty of time to save.
Mum, I’m going to be a nonalcoholic when I’m older.
A little bit of questioning clarified that this meant not drinking any alcohol at all. Ever.
… that might have been because she was walking home after we’d had a very nice Sunday lunch with friends.
Perhaps one to add to the diary to check in 10(?) years time…?
