I'm certainly glad that Lucas is feeling better....I'm glad to have the return of his humor....or his brutal honesty (maybe). He has the ability to be sweet yet brutally thoughtful.
These past few nights he has returned to his information spewing self during supper time. This evening he and Eli were discussing the merits of becoming famous. They have already come to the decision that they will be famous but in what area or areas are still up for debate (with one another because no one else will feed into their fantasies).
Lucas leaned over to me, patted my knee and said (with a straight face) "Don't worry mom. You will probably still be alive when we are famous. I will have a lot of nannies." Now I am a little slow sometimes and did not possess the smarts to not be baited by his comment. I said, "Nannies? Why are you going to have a lot of kids that you need more than one nanny?"
He grins (never a good sign when in this type of discussion) and says, "No, for you and dad. I will get you lots of nannies to take care of you cause you'll be old and that way you don't have to go to a place full of other old people like you. I will make our house bigger so you and the nannies can be over there and I'll be over here but I'll still see you."
Eli, much more direct and totally irreverent, "Don't worry, mom, when I'm famous I'll come see you so you can be sure I'm okay but then I will have to leave again so I can keep being famous."
Well I'm sure glad they've got goals as well as our retirement/elder care needs all figured out.
