John

One day

Last night in the bathtub, John said “One day, I’m going to be a Daddy and Gillian is going to be a Mommy.” I was a little taken back by his statement, but I did ask him what kind of kids he was going to have. He said “you mean boys or girls? Boys!” I asked how many. He said “Two. I’m going to have one and then when that one’s big like Daddy I’m going to have another one.” I asked him what job he was going to have when he gets bigger. He said ” I don’t know. Oh I know. I’m going to be a policeman. And I’m going to name one of the kids Rose.” Once again I was a little shocked. John you can’t name one of your boys Rose that’s a girl’s name. He replied “What’s your name? Not the one Daddy calls you.” I said my full name is Rosemarie. “Then I’m going to name one of them Rosemarie.” I again explained to him that Rosemarie is a girl’s name, but he didn’t seem to care.
