Kids Keep It Simple

One of the things that is rough for me about moving here is that I knew it wouldn't be the same between us and other people.

Even though Bruce's parents wouldn't mind, I know my friends don't really want to come over here and hang out.  It would just feel more normal to hang out at one of their places.  It's even difficult to get a babysitter when the in-laws can't watch Emmie.  In most cases I would have to bring the baby elsewhere.  It's kind of like we're on a deserted island and need to keep going ashore.

Adults make everything so complicated.  That's why I love kids.  The following is a transcript of a conversation between Bruce, Denny, and Denny's daughter, Ariana:

ARIANA: Can I come over soon?

BRUCE: You can come over, but we don't live in the same place anymore.  We live with my parents now.

ARIANA: Have I ever met your parents?

DENNY: Yes.  You have.  You met them at the baby shower.

ARIANA: Oh, okay.

BRUCE:  They're nice; you can come over whenever you want.

ARIANA: Okay!
