Found

while excavating the apartment.

A small slip of paper on the floor in a corner of the bedroom:

(upon seeing Optimus Prime die)
Liesel, when you have your funeral, I won't be going. My kids and my husband will be going, but I will stay home and clean the house. I do like chores.

Clearly, my husband wrote this down for Daniel after that deeply troubling scene in the 1988 Transformer movie, when Optimus Prime dies. Isn't it nice that my son thinks of me when the leader of the Autobots meets his demise?

I am so glad that Daniel likes chores. Apparently he won't start doing any until I die.

Also, note that my son does not envision himself with a wife, but rather a husband. Hey, what do I care? At least I'm still getting grandkids!
