Conversation with my 8 year old

I tried really hard not to crack up when at the dinner table Gavin said:

Gavin: "Mom I don't want to get your hopes up too much."

Mom: "About what?"

Gavin: "We read a book today at school that said someday we may be able to live on Mars. But it might not be for awhile yet."

Mom: "Really? Well I sure hope so, but I won't get my hopes up too much."

Cute kid.
