No babies till after college

As Mckenna was getting out of the car this morning at daycare she looks up at me and says, "Daddy, when Nathan and I have a baby..." (Nathan is Mckenna's daycare friend) Having startled me a little - OK, a lot - my "Uber-Daddy" senses spring into action!

"Super Uber-Daddy"- the apex of heroism, the fixer of boo-boo's, with all the prerequisites of strength, brains and scratchy five O'clock shadow face- puts his protective reflexes to work and quickly interrupts her, "Whoa! No babies till after college." Yes, I'm a Super Hero of few words...

Not giving it a second thought she responds, "Yeah or maybe after homework."

I wonder if boys, at this age, have the slightest clue what they are in for.
