Can We Have Two Daddies?

Today I was driving down the road with just Anthony and me in the van. This doesn't happen very much; so we were taking the time to visit with each other. He asked me if I told him he was cute when he was a baby like Zaccheus. I told him that he was a very cute baby and that I did tell him he was cute. Then I told him that someday he could be a Daddy and have baby's of his own. He spoke up and asked me "Can we have two Daddies?" I was slightly alarmed, and told him that we could only have one Daddy at a time. He started crying! It took me a little while (sometimes it's hard to figure out a child's thought process), but I figured out that he was upset because he thought that him and his Daddy could both be the Daddy of the house at the same time. I explained to him that when he was a Daddy he would have his own wife and kids and that he would live in his own house. He started crying harder! He said he didn't ever want to be a Daddy because he didn't want to live somewhere different from us. I swiftly told him that he didn't ever have to be a Daddy and that he could live with us forever! That made him happy!

It's nice to know that he will stick around to take care of us in our old age. ;D I will probably have to remind him of this conversation in about 15 years!
