Christian's Take on Me Being "Lonely"

Most people know I live for moments I get to spend with my nephews. I want to share with you one of my favorite stories from my week with them...

My sister and brother-in-law returned Thursday just in time to keep Jason home while I went to get Christian from school. I spend Wednesday night and Thursday morning telling the boys how much I was going to miss them when I leave and come back home. While in the car I reminded Christian that I didn't want to leave I really wanted to stay... here is our conversation:

Christian: You really need to get somebody to live with you.
Me: Why's that?
C: Because then you wouldn't be so lonely.
M: *chuckling* I'm not lonely, but I do have someone in mind that I want to live with me. I'm kind of working on it. Can you guess who it is?
C: *without missing a beat* Well it can't be me because I have to live with my mommy.
M: Nope, it's not you. Try again.
C: *without missing a beat* And it can't be my brother because he has to live with my mommy too!
M: *laughing* No no, it's not your brother. Think about it, who might Aunt Chrissy really want to live with her?
C: Ummmm.... Ummm... I'm Thinking... IS IT UNCLE BRON-BRON?!
M: *LAUGHING* Yup. That's what I was thinking.
C: *literally shaking his head and chuckling* I knew it! You have to work harder because you're so lonely.

We chuckled all the way home! And once again, I realized this little boy is too smart for his own good!
