Conversations With Cole

Cole:  "Daddy, who is that guy in the picture with you?"
Daddy:  "That's Mommy!"
Cole:  "[laughs heartily]  No it's not silly.  That's a boy."
Daddy:  "No... it's Mom.  She just had short hair."
Cole:  "She looks like a boy!  (pause) Ummm... Dad?  Did you LIKE Mommy when she looked like a boy?!"


Cole:  "Mom, what if our Dad died and went to heaven?"
Mom:  "Cole, that would be awful.  We would miss Daddy so much!"
Cole:  "But, he would be safe in heaven so he would be okay."
Mom:  "No honey, we need our Daddy here.  He isn't going to die."
Cole:  "Mom, if you were by yourself you could get a sheep."
Mom:  "A sheep?!"
Cole:  "Yeah, or you could have a goat.  Goats can give you milk."
Mom:  "Cole...  I think I would much rather have Daddy here than a sheep or a goat."
Cole:  "Me too Mom."
