"Mom, when kids are grown ups do the Mommies have to still watch them?"
So, I go into the whole dissertation on the role of a mommy being to teach children to be independent and eventually be grown ups. I made sure to add in that we always love our babies and that we will probably always provide advice (my plug for later when I can't keep my mouth shut if he's making a terrible decision!).
He looked really concerned and replied:
"But, I want you to still be around me for help. I'm going to live in a house really, super close. And, I want to be able to always have you to love me even if I'm a grown up!"
Very profound for my little dude!
