There Is Only One Life Choice

(I am visiting my mom’s cousin for the weekend right after graduating college and looking for jobs. We stop by her neighbor’s house and I meet the four- and eight-year-old children. As the mom is talking with my cousin, the little kids are showing me around their house when the following conversation happens.)

Eight-year-old: “Miss, [My Name], you’re a teenager right?”

Me: “Nope, I’m older.”

Eight-year-old: “Oh, so you’re a mommy!”

Me: *laughing* “Not yet.”

(She stares at me very confused not grasping the concept.)

Me: “I’m in between a teenager and a mommy.”

Eight-year-old: “Well, when will you become a mommy?!”
