Conversation 1:
- Son#1: "Mom, if you had to be locked in a cage with someone, who would it be?"
- Wife: (Thinking this might be a trick question and keeping the "Hugh Jackman" answer to myself . . . ) "Uh . . . your Dad?" (Good answer, Wife) "Who would you be locked in a cage with, son?"
- Son #1: (Smirking) "Uh, she's a little older than me." (More smirking)
- Wife: "Would she, by chance, be dating Tito Ortiz?"
- Son #1: (Big smirk) "Uh, technically, they are engaged."
- Wife: (High fives son and laughs, but secretly thinks "Great. 10 year old son wants to date the "Queen of Porn")
- Son #1: "Mom, you ever notice how all our teams start with "S"? You know, Sonics, Seahawks . . ."
- Wife: "Well, the Mariners start with "M", son."
- Son #1: "Well, I meant football and basketball."
- Wife: "You weren't specific."
- Son #1: "You're right. I just don't like to be wrong. No one likes to be wrong."
Respectfully submitted,
The Wife

The first conversation sounds more like me.. locking porn queens in cages and stuff.. Send him over for the summer and I will try my best to encourage his good start.
The first conversation is definately you M. ;o)
He just wanted to give the right answer. No regrets, no pre- or after thoughts, just the right answer.
The second answer seems like damn good parenting to me. It must be a little of the two of you.
Thanks so much for the M-mail ! It was wonderful for both of us to return home to tonight. It meant the world!
