    Frank wanted to talk about the plot of a horror movie about a child abduction in great detail. I kept interrupting.

    "Stop. I don't want to hear anything more. I am serious."
    "It's just a movie, mom."
    "I have enough to worry about without more ideas in my head."
    "Like drowning," he said with a smile. He was teasing me about my greatest fear as a mother. That my children will drown.
    We pulled into the drop off drive at school.
    "Love you, mom," he said as he hopped out.
    Oh man. I love you too. More than you can imagine yet. Let's see how you feel about kidnapping plotlines once you have kids of your own.
