The Future


Ryan: Mom, What's the future.


Mom: Well, it's what is going to happen tomorrow or next year.


Ryan: Can we go to the future?


Mom: No, we can't go to the future.


Ryan: Won't tomorrow be the future?


Mom (starting to think she is out of her league): The future is always what hasn't happened yet.


Ryan: You said tomorrow is the future. I'll be there tomorrow.


Mom: When tomorrow is happening, it won't be the future anymore. The future is what is to come.


Ryan: So, next year is the future?


Mom: Yes.


Ryan: I'll be in the future next year. The Bionicles live in the future.


Mom gives up.

Wow! What a great conversation! Are you guys at a grower farm in this picture? If so, which one? I ask because I work for the Society of American Florists. Thanks.
