Jack: Mom, when I grow up will you be a grandparent?
Tara: Maybe. It depends if you and the person you love have kids. Or if Will and the person he loves has kids. Do you think you'd like to be a dad someday?
Jack: Yeah. I'd like that. But I still want you to be my mom and I still want my dad to be my dad.
Tara: Buddy, I'll always be your mom and your dad will always be your dad. Forever and ever. That will never change.
Jack: Even when I'm 10? Even when I'm 16?
Tara: Your whole life, no matter how old you are. Even if you have kids. I'll be your mom and I'll be a grandma to your kids.
Jack: Oh yeah! Just like Grammy is your mom and Nana is daddy's mom! Wow. That's really cool. I like how families work.

Nowhere
Jack: Are you going to be around when I'm grown up?
Tara: I certainly hope so. What made you ask that?
Jack: I don't know. I just want you to be here. I don't want you to move away or anything.
Tara: Where would I go?
Jack: Maybe another country. Nowhere.
Tara: Nowhere? If I moved nowhere I'd still be here. Right?
Jack: No. The country Nowhere. Or is it called Middle of Nowhere?
Tara: I certainly hope so. What made you ask that?
Jack: I don't know. I just want you to be here. I don't want you to move away or anything.

Career Choices
Jack: There sure are a lot of options for what you want to be when you grow up.
Tara: You're right. There are. You can be anything you want to be.
Jack: Will you help me decide?
Tara: Well you don't have to choose right now. You have a long time to make that choice and you can always change your mind.
Jack: Maybe we can start thinking about it now. I'll say a choice and then you say one and then I'll say one... Rock Star.
Tara: What about a doctor?
Jack: Oh, good one. Race car driver.
Tara: That would one would be exciting. Lawyer.
Jack: Hmmm. Motor cross bike jumper.
Tara: That might be dangerous. How about a librarian like daddy? Or yoga teacher like me?
Jack: Maybe I'll be a sales associate.
Tara: You know, I think you'd be a great salesman. What would you sell?
Jack: Lots of stuff. Cars. Or houses. Or I could sell sandwiches. Or maybe lightbulbs and light switches...
Tara: You're right. There are. You can be anything you want to be.

McDonald's
Jack: Mom, can we go to McDonald's tonight to the Drive Thru so I can get a Happy Meal?
Tara: Hmmm... Well... You have been really good and I think you deserve a treat. What are you going to get?
Jack: Well last time I had chicken nuggets. I think I'll try something else. I want a grilled cheese.
Tara: They don't have grilled cheese at McDonald's.
Jack: Oh. How about a turkey sandwich?
Tara: Nope.
Jack: Bologna?
Tara: No.
Jack: Do they have burgers?
Tara: Yes, they do.
Jack: Okay. I'll have a burger with cheese and guacamole.
Tara: They don't have guacamole. They have ketchup and mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickles...
Jack: What is wrong with that place? I guess I'll just have chicken nuggets.
The Happy Meal comes in a bag.
Jack: Where is the box? Last time I got a box.
Tara: I don't know. I guess now you get apples and french fries so the box wasn't big enough.
Jack: I liked it better when it was a box with just the chicken nuggets and the apples for the kids, when they gave the french fries to the parents. I don't even like the french fries. I feel disappointed. Let's go to Noodles and Company next time.
