Conversation with Little Man:

I was walking Little Man home from school today when I noticed a little girl ahead of us walking by herself. She seemed a little young to be walking home by herself and I expressed this concern to LM.

Little Man: I think she's my age.

Me: I don't think so but maybe she's in Kindergarten or first grade.

Little Man: I could walk home by myself.

Me: Someday maybe.

Little Man: I'm bigger than you think I am.

Me: Really?

Little Man: Yeah! I'm at least 7 inches!

Me: Hmmmm. (trying not to laugh) I think it's going to be a while before I let you walk home without me.

Little Man: (hearing music playing) Ice Cream truck! We need to get some popsicles!

So that effectively ended the conversation. :)
