Contemplating Six

Sam is soon having a birthday so we were talking about it tonight before bed...


Me:  Sam, can you not turn six and just stay five for a bit longer?

Sam:  But Mom, I don't know how to do that.... I have to have a birthday that's just how life is!

Me:  But if you keep getting older then you are going to become an adult and move out... then what will I do?

Sam:  Mom.  I'm just tuning six, it's not that old.  It's not like I have wrinkles all over or anything!!
