Lifetime Tenure

Nat on the way home from school: Mommy, when will Bonnie be big and be able to do stuff?

C: Well, she's a baby now and will be for a while longer. Then Baby Bonnie will be Little Girl Bonnie. Then she'll be Big Girl Bonnie then Teenager Bonnie and finally Grown-Up Bonnie.

N: Same for me?

C: Yep. Same for you.

N: Who will be my mommy when I'm Teenager Nattie?

C: Me, honey. I'll be your mommy your whole life.

N: Good. I was really hoping my mom would always be you.

Maybe I should get that in writing for when she is Teenage Nattie, huh?
