When I'm ___ I can ___

Lately Adam has taken to making decisions about his life. He understands that he is too little/young to do some things - so he makes a decision as to what age he will be able to do said thing.

For example "When I'm sixteen I will go on an airplane." or "When I'm twenty-five I will drink beer like daddy."

It's quite humorous to hear his desires as well as the age he thinks it's appropriate to do so.

Yesterday, his statement make me sad and happy at the same time.

"Mommy, when I'm 5 I can have a sister."

What? I asked, hearing the word sister and not really understanding.

"When I'm 5 I can have a sister."

"You want a sister?"

"Henry said sisters are fun. When I'm 10 I can pull her hair."
