DynaGirl woke up the other morning with new baby names to record in her journal. Goose thought that sounded like fun, too, so they sat down at the breakfast table with their journals and started talking about the future.
Goose: I wanna have a baby at 20.
Me: Why 20? That’s so young.
DynaGirl: I wanna have a baby at 25 because I have an almost impossible dream, and that would give me five years to live it. I want to have a #1 hit single, be a famous artist, and have my own cafe called DynaGirl’s Cafe.
Goose: I want a cafe.
DynaGirl: You can’t steal my dreams! You can have a diner.
Goose: No, that’s disgusting.
So apparently, life begins at 20 and ends when you start having children. And you only have five years to try to accomplish all of your dreams. After that you may as well give up and become a mom. Also, cafes are awesome and diners are disgusting.
New baby names:
Fuschia – for a girl, of course
Parsley – for a boy, of course

You know, in some ways, the girls are totally right. Like the fact that ‘before kids’ is about living out YOUR dreams…because after kids you’re busy making sure THEIR dreams come true. It’s a pretty good trade-off, IMHO.
(and cafes ARE so much better than diners!)

Hmmmm. Some days I would have a hard time arguing that…

Well as much as we don’t want to admit it, your girls are wise beyond their years. Although I hope DG can fulfill her impossible dreams in 5 years. That’s not that much time.

I laughed so hard at this post and I had to read it to Stanton.

If Dynagirl achieves her almost impossible dream, tell her she can just hire a nanny for her kids and keep on pursuing other almost impossible dreams.

I want to disagree with your girls and on a lot of levels I do, but not on any levels that they’ll understand. You have to be here to be able to see it.
Those names are awful… amazing, I mean amazing!

Hey, DynaGirl’s penpal has long wanted to own a restaurant. Where does that fall in the cool spectrum?
