The other day Matthew was talking to me about growing older and asking how long until he turns 7, how long until he turns 12, and how long until he turns 19, etc. I asked him if he knew what he can do when he turns 19. He said no. I explained, "You can go on a mission. Daddy went on a mission, and Papa, and Uncle Steve, and Uncle Matt, and Uncle Phil." "You know what I'm going to do when I turn 19 Mom?" What honey? "I'm going to go on vacation to Florida. And go snorkeling, and ride the waves, and play in the sand. And practice my surfing."
Yes. We will revisit this later.
He also told me he has decided not to become a Policeman. His reason: "I would feel so sad when I have to put you in jail, Mom." Thank you Little Moo. He obviously has high goals for what I might become after he grows up and quits caring for me.

it's hard to make that talking about church and wearing a tie everyday sound appealing at that age
You just can't beat a Florida vacation. what have you been up to lately that makes him think he'll have to put you in jail?! ;)
I love it how kids are always thinking.
I love the title to your blog cause I'm sure that's what your life is like with 3 little boys. I'm shocked that Matt is old enough to use the potty let alone talk about what he wants to do when he grows up. Where has the time gone? The last time I saw him he was still in diapers laying on my lap in Relief Society meeting.
I love your Matthew conversations. Maybe he'll go on a mission to Florida (of course then he wouldn't be able to play in the waves. Maybe don't tell him that part quite yet...)
Good to know he's got your back, jailwise. Whew.
but I want to know what you are doing today that makes your son know he's going to imprison you. tell all!
what a cute little boy!
P.S. Your boxes have arrived.....:)
