Deep Talks

(The Kid, at his game)

 

While watching "We Bought a Zoo" with The Kid 

(a movie about a father, with two kids, whom lost his wife) I asked The Kid and Coach a question.

Me: How do you think Dad would manage if you guys lost me? Do you think he could handle it or would life be a mess??

 

The Kid: I think Dad could manage. But things would be different because we'd probably be living on an NBA bus, traveling all over the country.

 

Me: You think if I died, Dad would start playing professional basketball??!

 

The Kid: Probably.  And he'd drag us with him.

 

Me (looking at both of them in surprised disbelief):

So what you're saying is... without me in his life, Dad would be a professional athlete??  Because being married to me, is the only thing that has been holding him back from the NBA?!

The Kid nodded.

I looked at Coach.

Coach shrugged his shoulders knowingly, raised an eyebrow and smirked a little: Listen... I didn't say it... but The Kid knows what he's talkin about...
