Looking To The Future

On the way to school this morning, we drove through our downtown area, and Samantha was reading business signs and asking questions.

Samantha: What's that one say, Mommy?

Me: It says "The M------ Bar".

Samantha: Mommy, could you take me to the M-------- Bar someday?"

Me: No, honey, bars are not places for kids.

Samantha: NO, Mommy, I mean SOMEDAY can you take me there!

Me: Oh, well...yes, OK, when you turn 21, I'll take you there and buy you a drink, how's that sound?

Samantha: OK...Mommy?

Me: Yes?

Samantha: Do they have lemonade there?

Me: (smiling) Yes, baby, I'll bet they do.

Samantha: Good!
