Recently, Hubby and I had some alone time with Little Guy. And the conversations just put a big smile on my face. We were talking about all sorts of stuff–LEGO Wii games, Basketball, skiing, and other popular little boy topics. Little Guy asked if we could do something special on Monday since there wasn’t any school due to a holiday. Hubby responded that he would be leaving for a business trip on Monday.
Little Guy: Oh, I didn’t know you were taking a trip, Daddy. Where are you going?
Daddy: England
Little Guy: Can I go with you, Daddy?
Daddy: Why do you want to go with me?
Little Guy: I want to go back to England so I can practice my football (soccer). When are you coming back?
Daddy: I’ll be back on Thursday night.
Little Guy: That’s great. I won’t miss any basketball. (Obviously, school wasn’t an issue)
Daddy: (chuckling) I think that’s great that you want to go to England to practice your football. But I’m not going to that part of England where we have friends (where we used to live). I’ll be in London this trip.
Little Guy: (in a very soft voice) If we have no plans to go to England any time, how can I become a great football player?
Daddy: But I’ll be going to England again soon, and this time I’ll be staying where we have friends.
Little Guy: Can I go with you on that trip??
