The other day we were passing by Texas Tech University when out of the blue Nicholas asked what one of the buildings were and why was there alot of bikes in front of it. I explained to him that it was where some students lived while they went to school. Then I go on to tell him that some students that lived close by or sometimes with parents or friends they drove their cars to school. My description went on for a minute or two and he sat quietly and listened. We stopped at a light and said, "Mom, I don't think I want to go to school here anymore." I asked why. A little puzzled because Nicholas LOVES Tech and it's all he talks about. I had to ask him another time and he finally said that he didn't want to live in that big building. I told him he didn't have to and that he could still live at home or in Lubbock by himself or with friends but that he could decide that when he got older and there was no need to worry about it now. But HE WAS ADAMANT...then he said he had an idea, maybe just maybe myself or his daddy could take him to class and then pick him up after school. And it was agreed upon, I will still chauffeur my child around even when he is 18 and going to Tech! Can we get this in writing? ;)
