Jake walked in and we chatted a bit about this and that (girls, work, book), and as he was going to bed, something (hell if I know what) compelled me to say, "You know, I don't remember if I ever told you this... I told your brother, but not you... but if anything ever happens to me and your dad at the same time, you need to call Pam."
"Pam?"
"Yes, Pam A. (the amazing organizational friend who filed stuff for me)... she knows where the life insurance policies are."
::: odd look from son ::::
"Seriously. If something happens to us, if there's an accident, there's some money. But this policy expires in a couple of years, so after that, you get nothing."
"You're not giving me much time here to form a plan, mom."

Posted by: Melanie Lynne Hauser at May 23, 2006 08:51 AMHi! I'm new to your blog. I thought this was hilarious. How old is your son that he's gotta make a plan??? If I told this to my 5 year old, she's think I'd gone off the deep end! LOL
Posted by: Cissa Fireheart at May 23, 2006 09:01 AMCiss, he's 19. I'm pretty sure his plan involved making it look like an "accident." (grin) Of course, he then teased me that I had given his brother a head start.
