Me: Do you want to get married?
Oliver: Oh, yeah.
Me: And what do you think marriage is?
Oliver; It's just like you get to be with your friend forever.
Me: And do you think you want to have kids?
Oliver: Yeah.
Me: Why?
Oliver: I think I will be a really good dad. My dad is the best dad.
Pause
Oliver: Actually, maybe I won't have kids.
Me: Why not?
Oliver: Well, taking care of kids is really hard work.
