"Madeline and I are going to get a house soon. Will you live there too?"
"Sure," I said. "Who else will live there?"
"Daddy and Hannah and (Madeline's parents and sister). And there is going to be one bedroom, not upstairs."
"Where will we all sleep?" I asked.
"In one big bed, all together. And you can jump off of it. It will be a jumping bed. And the kitchen will have lots of things in it. It will have a drinking fountain."
He paused for a moment, then: "Mama? Is there really a house like that?"
This boy of mine has some big dreams.
