Foreshadowing?

Cate: "It will be a long time til I'm fourteen.

Me: "Cate, I'm glad it will be a long time. I like you being four."

Cate: "Because you want to still be able to hold me?"

Me: "No. I just like you being four. Can I still hold you sometimes when you are fourteen?"

Cate: "No, Mama. I'll be too big."

Then Ava pipes up, " I'll still need you to hold me."

Pause.

"I'll still need to you to rock me too."

At first I found this very sweet, then it occured to me that we still may be raising Ava when she's 35...
