Being the Mommy

Kirra and I have many interesting conversations while we are laying in bed together.

Kirra: When I grow up I want to be a Mommy!
Mommy: Yeah, I would love for you to be a Mommy and then I'll get to be the Nana!
Kirra: What? I already have a Nana (and then she starts to cry).
Mommy: Bewildered at the crying, "What's wrong?"
Kirra: I want you to stay my Mommy!
Mommy: I will always be your mommy, but when you have kids I'll get to be their Nana.

I change the subject . . . and then a few minutes later. . .

Kirra: Oh, so you'll always be MY Mommy, but when I have my own kids then they will call you Nana like I call your mommy Nana!

Phew! Glad that crisis didn't last long!
