In which Dash and Mama talk about being 5 and 36

Dash: "Mama, I love being five.  Do you?"

Mama: "Dash, I love that you're five, and I love that you love being five.  I loved being five too.  But I also love being thirty-six!"

Dash (looking wistful): "Yeah... Being 36 is really great."

Mama (chuckling): "How so?"

Dash: "Because when you're 36, you can jump out of airplanes whenever you want."

Mama: "That's true!"

Dash: "So?"

Mama: "So what?"

Dash: "So do you want to jump out of an airplane?"

Mama (humoring him): "Maybe someday!"

Dash: "Why not right now?  You're 36!"

Mama: "Dash, you know, you're on to something.  Why not now?  I'm 36!"

Dash: "Mama... it's bedtime.  And it's dark.  You can't jump out of a plane right now!"

Mama: "True, true."

Dash: "But tomorrow, my friend Liam and I, we're going to fly you in a plane up to the sky, and you can jump out!"

Mama: "So let me get this straight: you can't jump out of a plane at age 5, but you can FLY one?"

Dash: "Sure, why not?!  Tomorrow!"

Mama: "I guess we'll see..." 

(He was just so happy at the possibility that I didn't have the heart to tell him no!  And he went to sleep with the world's biggest smile on his five year-old sweet little face.)
