A New Van

I stayed home from church today with the boys who are recovering from the stomach flu. Joseph took the girls to church and on the way home Brynn said, "Dad, I've been thinking that it's time for mom to have another baby." This came as a great surprise to Joe because Brynn has expressed multiple times that she doesn't want us to have any more children, in her words, "because mom is always feeding and taking care of the baby."

Joseph asked her why her feelings had changed. She said, "I was just thinking that if we had a baby, we could get a new big van, and that would be really fun."

Joe told her that his family had one of those big vans. She asked him if it was fun. His reply was, "Well, they're fun at first, but then they just feel like a big ol' bus, and they roll around and aren't really that comfortable."

We have some big families in our ward and they have 15 passenger vans. Apparently Brynn digs these vans.

Aw, she'd probably be so disappointed to know that five kids fit just fine in a regular minivan, wouldn't she?

That's funny. I want new van too, but not another child to go with it.
