fruitless request

Check out this request I got from Dennis in the car this afternoon. "Mommy, I really want a baby brother. Can I please have a baby brother?" he asked. I told him I was too old to have a baby brother for him because this seemed like the quickest way to end this particular conversation. He said "no, you could get John to help you." I don't know many men named John so the first person that popped into my head was my former boss at Walgreens, who Dennis actually knows. I'm sure he'd be shocked to hear this. I asked for clarification, asked him who John was, and he said "Jesus' friend John from the bible because his mom was too old too." I asked if he meant John the Baptist and he said "yes!". I am amazed. But I hope Dennis doesn't pray too hard for a sibling! It's not really in our plans, though we don't take lightly the power of divine intervention!
