Springing Offspring.

Yesterday, the boyfriend and I drove to his hometown to run a few errands. While we were in town, we met up with his moms and aunt at the local Sonic. We sat outside with our Route 44's and enjoyed the weather, the company and the conversation. Somehow we got on the topic of my boyfriend's ADHD, and I commented about how I'm a hilarious mess without my ADD meds.

Without hesitation his mom commented, "Any offspring of y'all's will definitely be springing."

I could feel my heart rate steadily increasing until I thought it was going to beat right out of my chest and land on the table in front of us. Did she just say something about her "future grandchildren"? Does this mean she likes me that much that she just might see me as the one for her son? Does this mean I have her blessing? Kids? What kids? I'm not even sure I want them. Oh, I think I'm going to pass out. Yep, it's getting blurry. Quick, say nothing and just drink your cherry Dr. Pepper.

Thankfully, the topic was lost in other conversation, but I still couldn't shake it. When my beau and I left, we headed to the mall. Apparently, he was just as uncomfortable with her comment as I was. Wow. We really are on the same page...thank God! But I did have to express how it made me feel like she truly accepted me.

Upon saying this, he turned, looked at me like I had 8 arms, and in a you-should-know-better tone said, "Yeah. She likes you, [her s.o.] likes you and my aunt likes you."

"Oh," was all I could think of. I think it goes beyond like. Because she's saying she'd be okay with kids, which means she'd be okay with marriage, which means etc. Its all getting fuzzy again.
