A Bike Ride Conversation

James and I went out for a bike ride together and talked about many different things.  While riding home he asked me, "Would you be surprised if you saw me on an episode of House Hunters?"  Finding the question odd , I asked him, "Are you talking about now or when you're older?"  He replied, "I guess when I'm older."  "Well," I said, "I think I would be surprised if I didn't know you were moving out."  He then said, "Would you be upset?" 
I replied, " I know you're all going to move out one day, but I think I'll be a little sad because I love having you home and I'll miss you."  Being the sensitive kid that he is, he looked at me with such sincerity and said, "Don't worry, everyone else will move out, but I'll stay with you forever."  Then, after thinking about it for a moment, he revised his statement by saying, "Well, Danny and Katie will move out.  I'll  stay with you and so will Daddy.  Daddy HAS to stay.  He's forced to."
