Sam: "Mom, I've decided to become a Separatist."
me: "huh, what?"
Sam: "A Separatist. When I grow up."
me: "What do you mean by that?"
Sam: "I'm not entirely sure. But here's the thing..."
me: "ok..."
Sam: "I've been really worried about who I'm going to marry."
me: "really?"
Sam: "I really think this is a decision I should make before I turn six. I thought maybe I'd make it when I was six, but I don't think I should wait that long."
me: "um... ok..."
Sam: "I have it narrowed down to three girls: Natalie, Cassie, and Haley."
me: "why them?"
Sam: "Well, they're all very nice to me."
me: "I guess that's a good way to choose someone."
Sam: "The question is which one?"
me: "Maybe you should talk to them about it?"
Sam: "That's a good idea." [thinks it over.]
me: "... so... that's why you're going to be a Separatist?"
Sam: "Maybe I should become a scientist instead."
me: "Scientists probably have better health coverage..."

Sam IS hilarious.
What?! You must have uber-intelligent and forward looking children. Mine just want to know what we're having for lunch.
My eldest has been planning to marry for the last couple of years. Each year it's a different girl, but the latest sounds serious! At the grand age of 5 I think I've got a seperatist on miy hands too!
Up until recently he referred to it as "getting merried"; methinks he's seen his Dad "getting merry" and got a bit confused...
So, are you planning a very fun wedding for him and the girl he chooses?
