Mark was thinking about where he'll live when he grows up, and he decided he'll just stay put. He informed me that he and his family will live with me.
I want to be close to my grandkids, but that seems...well, a bit close. (Not to mention we only have one bathroom.)
"Oh," I said. "Okay. Are you gonna have a lot of kids?"
He nodded. "Probably two or three."
"Hmmm..." I thought about it. "Where will you all sleep?"
Now it was his turn to think. He scratched his head, and finally answered, "Well, I guess the kids can sleep in the office. And my wife and I will get the bunk beds." He smiled, proud that he'd figured it all out.
I smiled and bit my tongue.
"Sounds like a great plan," I told him. "And you'll save a lot of money. All you have to pay for is a new bathroom!"
I think it's a pretty good solution all around. Of course, my future daughter-in-law may not agree...
