Tonight Porter declared that he did not need me as his mom. Our friend Amber Sagers was over and she proceeded to ask him what he would do with out me. How would he take care of himself, buy food, get clothes, etc. This led into a discussion about ways that Porter could work and make money. One of his ideas was a Lemonade stand. As he was discussing the various aspects to making this happen, he turned to me and said, "Mom, can you go make some lemonade." Oh, the irony of this statement! Amber and I laughed and laughed.
He came up with a few other great ideas too. He would charge $950 to mow a yard and blow off your driveway. He would by Legos and then sell those legos. I was a little concerned about this one because he loves Legos, so I probed a bit further. Of course he had this figured out, he would buy the legos he doesn't really care about, "those little car sets". We also discussed a garage sale where he determined he would sell water balloons and the boys outside trucks that he is no longer interested in playing with. It was quite an entertaining conversation.
I love this kids mind. He will definitely go places.
Later this evening he was talking about a girl from our ward, Kenna Mitchell. She is an adorable, sweet little girl. She is a few months younger than Porter, but he gets a little frustrated with her because he doesn't like when she wants to sit by him all the time. Tonight he did say she was fun and he liked her because she's obedient. I thought, that is great. It's impressive that he noticed her obedience and I loved that this was a characteristic he appreciated. Then he continued on with his thoughts about her obedience. He realized that because she was obedient, he could probably get her to do the things he wanted her to do. He said, "I can tell her to do (fill in the blank) and then she'll do it." Oh my goodness!!! Heaven help us.
