Cameron's Future

Cameron played his first arcade racing game this weekend. He had a great time. Such a great time that I think it was the inspiration of our conversation as I was putting him to bed.
*******
Cam: Mom, when I grow up to be a mom...
Me: You mean when you grow up to be a dad.
Cam: Yeah yeah. When I, when I, when I grow up to be a dad.... (Light bulb goes off in his head)
Do I get to drive the car?!!!! (because when we all go somewhere Eric drives.)
Me: Sure you can drive the car when you are a dad.
{He is so excited at this point I can just see his little mind envisioning the wild racing he had done a few hours ago.}
Me: How many kids are you going to have?
Cam: Four, in the back.
(pointing his thumb back as if he was sitting in the drivers seat and gesturing to his kids in the back)
Me: {Trying to figure out how to ask him about his wife, but not sure he knows what one is}
So is there going to be a mom?
Cam:Yeah, yeah you will sit in the front seat by me!
(awww, melt my heart)
*******
So there you have it.
My little man can't wait to be a dad with four kids driving the minivan.
HIS Dad sure has the life!
