It's ok Mom!

Jersey loves to play with friends everyday after school. I don't get to hear or enjoy the screaming enough (of course when I want to enjoy it.) I get sad when the moment we get home from school she wants to go and play with someone else. (I know mom's aren't that cool. but I thought that was when my kid becomes a teenager not 5) Anyways, Phoenix gets sad that Jersey will leave him behind.
Yesterday was such a case described above. Jersey asked to go play at a friends and Phoenix tried to follow after. But he didn't know which way she went. I heard Jersey leave but didn't hear Phoenix sneek out. I was getting ready to leave the house because it was that time of day where I go to work and I was calling Phoenix's name and notice that the front door was open. I started to get nervous. I shut it and opened the garage to load up the stuff that I needed for work, still calling Phoenix's name. He yelled back "what mom?" He was sitting outside waiting for Jersey to come back. I told him that if mom or dad weren't outside in the front with him, he couldn't be out there. He gave me a funny look, I explained that if he was out there all alone and a "bad" guy saw him and took him mom wouldn't know where he would be and he would be lost. I told him that I didn't want to lose him. He looked me in the eye and said *"mom if a bad guy came to get me I would just kill them. No bad guys can come and get me."
I love how my children are so innocent to the world. Thinking that nothing could ever happen to them. Oh, my heart hurts knowing that they won't be like this forever and makes me wish we could find away to bottle up their youth.
