When I am a Daddy

Nicholas often talks about things he will do and/or say when he is a Daddy.  Sometimes these are rules he will enforce or things he will do with his kids and sometimes he is just using "when I am a Daddy" as a stand-in for when he is an adult.  Today's was priceless:
Setting: on the way to the grocery store to pick up cottage cheese for the baked ziti we were making for dinner
N: How do you make baked ziti?
S: You make a tomato sauce, cook pasta, mix in cottage cheese, eggs, and mozzarella cheese, and then bake it.
N: Oh, okay.  (pause)  Mommy, can you tell me that a lot of times so that when I'm a Daddy I know how to make it for my kids?
S: Sure, bud.  How about if when we get home you help make it so you can learn?
N: Yay!!!!  Thank you, Mommy!

Heart melting.
