This would explain my oldest son.  Since I am careful about using the names of my children on the web...we will just call him Bubs.  Today he needed my full attention.  Before sitting with him to listen, I busied his younger brother, JJ, so I could give my listening ear to Bubs.  Sometimes my "little man" has trouble with the light heartedness...."life is a party"....way in which his little brother charges through life.  When Bubs has something on his heart it is best to busy my little ball of energy with other things. :)

So, I sat, looked him right in the eye and asked him what was on his mind.  He begins to tell me he has a plan.  He is going to get some property and begin digging a well.  He tells me every last detail of how he is going to get this done and you know what?  I KNOW he will!  Whether it is in a couple of years or ten, I know he is the type of person to set his mind to something, work out all the plans and details and get it done!  Today he discovered that if you dig a hole big enough for a balloon in the sand, put the balloon in, cover it up, jab it with a stick, it makes a deeper hole!

Anyways.....

At the tail end of our conversation JJ comes in.  Bubs gives him a quick recount of our conversation and explains that he will hire JJ and Ossie to help him.  Four year old JJ stands up tall, with his huge "life of the party" grin and says, "Well, all right, but I'm gonna need to be paid in cash!!!!"
