The 15 Passenger Van

We've lived at New Life Ranch now for 7 weeks! We've been living in Trailhead lodge, or the medicine lodge, temporarily while our house is being built. Just across a little road from our living room windows is where the 3 fifteen passenger vans NLR owns are parked. I listened in one day to a conversation my kids were having at the table while looking out at those vans. The conversation went as follows:

Micah: "I can't wait to be a dad!"
Ezra: "Why?"
Micah: "Because then I can put my kids in one of those big vans and drive them around."
Ezra: "Yeah, dads with kids are lucky. They get to drive those big vans."
Micah: "That's why I want to be a dad, cause they can drive those. So I have to be a dad."
Abigail: "Or a movie star!"
Micah: "Yeah, I know movie stars get to drive those too."
Abigail: "So I guess you'll have to become a dad or a movie star."
Micah: "Yeah"
