Motherhood Moment #6: Where Will I Live When I Grow Up?

Molly (5 years): “Mommy, where will I live when I grow up?”

Me: “In your own house.”

Molly: “How will I find it?”

Me: “If you need us to, Dad and I will help you find a house.”

Fast forward to a trip to Nixon’s Deli, where Molly spied a home magazine. She insisted on bringing it home.

Iris told me she’s going to live in our house and I can move next door!
