Jack is at the age where you cannot tell him that something in the future is going to happen unless it is very near or you will end up answering questions about it about every hour until it happens. So I have been very careful not to tell him that Aunt Lauren (my sister) is coming soon. But I thought today was a good day so I told him that Aunt Lauren would be coming on Friday. Here is the dialogue that took place next:
JACK: Are they all coming (referring to her husband and three kids I assume)?
ERIN: No, Jack unfortunately, they aren't able to all come this time.
JACK(disappointingly): Joshua's not coming?
ERIN: No, I am afraid not.
JACK: Why?
ERIN: Well, Jack it is really expensive to come so they aren't able to all come.
JACK: Well, you could just pay for all of them, MOM.
Oh, how I wish I could just pay for anyone I want to come over to visit. I wish money worked in real life like it does in the mind of a three-year-old. How fun would that be????

I like his magnanimous approach. I will remember it when it is time for us to buy tickets.
