A Conversation with Jake: Kids & Houses

Riding home from dinner...

Jake: I'm not going to be a dad for a long time.

Me: That's a good thing.

Jake: Yeah, I think it won't be until 2010.

Greg: Well, I hope it won't be until around 2030.

Jake: Wow, 2030!

Me: You have a lot of things to do before you become a dad. You have to go to a lot of school, get married...

Greg: You'll find a girl you really like...

Jake: But I don't know who I will marry!

Greg: Well, you probably haven't met her yet. You probably won't meet her for a long time.

Jake: And I might not live in the same house forever.

Me: Right. You might have your own house before you get married.

Jake: Yeah, 'cause our house will get old.

Me: Well, some old houses are really cool.

Jake: Yeah! Like houses that have pictures of Monster trucks on the outside!

And a random side snippet heard earlier this evening (Jacob talking about a toy snake):

Jake: I have a friendly snake in my pocket!

Hee hee.
