Yesterday at supper, the most hilarious little conversation took place!
The topic of the kids having kids came up, and I always get a real kick out of it. Its a funny way to see how they’re feeling about their family at that very moment đ If they want LOTS of kids that day, they’re pretty content. And if they want NO kids that day, they’re super over their siblings, hahaha!
Yesterday, specifically, everyone wanted kids! Dekker said he figured he’d want three or four. Probably four, though. Solomon wanted five. Rowan wanted three. Waverly piped up with “five!” And then Laela, with confidence, said she wanted eight!
Thats twenty-five grandkids for meeeee!! I asked for it in writing, but I haven’t acquired it yet đ
I carried the conversation on with Laela, and asked her what would happen if her husband didn’t want eight kids. That idea seemed crazy to her, which I loved. Who wouldn’t want eight kids, right??
She answered, “Well, I’d change. Or, I’d agree.”
Me: You’d agree?
Laela: If his number was higher than eight, ya, I’d agree!
Me: Oh, hahaha! Fair enough. What if he wanted less kids?
Laela: I’d change.
Me: You’d change your mind? Or would you change his mind?
Laela: I’d change husbands…

To be clear, I wasn’t leading her in any way to answer a specific way. I was curious how her problem solving would look, and I had a BIG laugh at her answers!
If Laela gets what she wants someday, she is going to be the BEST mommy!
