Of Lovers and Pregnancies

Zander has long claimed Krista as his lover. It's been difficult for him to have her grown up and gone.

For the past month he has talked NON-STOP about our "new baby". Tonight at dinner he told me, "Mom, when dinner is done, I'm going to go talk to God and ask him to give you a new baby. Then I'm going to pray for my lover to have a baby, because she's never laid a baby yet."

Sure enough he went to his room, and I discovered him praying. He gave me a hug and said, "God says it's o.k., and you can have a new baby - because we are all growing up already."
