We're in the middle of an overseas move. Roger left this morning to drive the car and the dog to Los Angeles to be shipped overseas. (The dog has to be quarantined for 30 days and then we'll pick her up at the other end.) I won't be medically cleared to drive again until next week...and both kids know that Mommy's not allowed to drive right now. We've been easing the kids into this road trip for a few days, but yesterday Schatz really started to put it all together.
Schatz: Dad's going to California?
Me: Yeah, Daddy will be home again in two days.
Schatz: But. What if we run out of FOOD?
Me (pointing to the full pantry): We just went shopping. We have enough food to last until Dad gets home.
Schatz: But what if we eat it ALL? Then we'll starve to DEATH before Daddy gets home!!
Me (exchanging a glance with Wendy, sitting across the table): Miss Wendy will drive us to the store if we eat all of our food in two days and need more before Daddy gets home.
Schatz looks suspiciously at us both before returning to playing with Mea.
