Adults are strange. I say that a lot, but it really is true. Like when Mommy got all mushy with me the other day.

I was watching SpongeBob. I love SpongeBob. Him and Patrick Starfish are really funny. DF and I watch it together all the time. I'm not sure who laughs at them more me or him.

Anyway, DF hadn't gotten home from work yet and Mommy was at the computer. She kept smiling and looking at me all funny. She gets this way whenever she starts looking at my baby pictures. She has them all on the computer; sorted and dated and stuff.

"Kendal?" She asked all of a sudden.

"Yeah." I said only half paying attention to her. I mean really, Spongebob was on.

"What would you think about having a little brother or sister?"

I frowned at Mommy. I mean, I like being an only child. When you have four parents, being all by yourself is pretty cool. Not to mention the grandparents. I have six grandparents. That is a total haul at my birthday, and Christmas is way cool. But, when I looked at Mommy she looked sorta sad, so I smiled a little.

"I guess it'd be kinda cool." I said even though I wasn't sure if I really meant it though.

Mommy just smiled really big and went back to looking at pictures on the computer. And, I went back to watching SpongeBob and Patrick.

I had pretty much forgotten about it until a couple of days later. I was in my room finishing up my homework when I heard DF yell.

"Yes!" DF shouted.

I was curious and a little scared. I didn't know what was going on, so I headed toward the living room, and that's when I saw DF swinging Mommy around in a circle. He had picked her up and was hugging her real tight and laughing. I didn't know what to think.

"Are you sure?" DF asked when he finally put Mommy down. Mommy nodded and he picked her up again.

"Finn, stop." Mommy said. "You're going to make me sick."

"Oh, sorry." He said. "Ken-dal." He yelled the first half of my name and then said the last half quieter when he saw me. "Hey, Buddy."

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Kendal." Mommy said. "Baby, Daddy and I are going to have baby." I looked at Mommy confused.

"What about DF?"

"No, no, Sweetie, Daddy Finn and I are going to have a baby." Mommy explained.

"Oh." I said. Having three dads is kinda confusing sometimes.

"So, what do you think?" DF asked. "You ready to be a big brother?" I shrugged.

"I can't wait to tell the family." Mommy said smiling. I don't think I'd ever seen Mommy smile that big.

"We can tell them Friday." DF offered. "Everyone's going to be there."

"Perfect."

"I'm going go finish my homework." I said.

"Okay." Mommy said. "Dinner's in hour." I nodded and went back to my room.

Mommy looked so happy. I can't remember when Mommy looked like that ever before. I don't know if I like this. I'm supposed to be the only child. And, now I'm going to have to share with a baby. Baby's get all kinds of attention from adults. Not just their parents, but everyone. I don't know if I'm going to like this big brother stuff.
