| Earlier in the week, Y decided it was her wedding day (she was marrying Simon from Alvin & The Chipmunks). And this is the dress she designed for herself. I think I will keep this picture and display it on her actual wedding day which is hopefully far, far in the future. |
Today B was home fairly early from work so he was able to accompany the girls and I on our trip to Old Navy. After we returned home, I began cooking dinner and Y came over to help me. This is the conversation that followed:
Y: Mom, I'm gonna marry Steven.
Me: Steven who?
Y: A different Steven (as in, not her cousin Steven who's 21 years older than her and already married. Whew, glad we dodged that bullet).
Me: Who is Steven?
Y: He's a different Steven (she was growing frustrated at this point).
Me: (change of approach) How do you know Steven?
Y: From Old Navy.
Me: You met him at Old Navy?
Y: Yeah.
Me: Did you play with him while we were there?
Y: No, I just saw him.
Me: How did you know his name was Steven?
Y: Because that's what I heard his mom call him.
Me: Oh, OK. Well, I think you're a little too young to get married already. You should probably at least wait until you go to college.
Y: Why do I need to go to college?
Me: So you can keep learning and get a job and go to work.
Y: Why do I need to get a job and go to work, Daddy goes to work.
Me: But you don't want to live with Mommy and Daddy when you're married.
Y: Yes I do.
Me: Sweetie, when you get married you're gonna wanna be with just your husband. It's no fun living with Mommy and Daddy when you're married.
Y: Then I don't wanna get married! I want to stay little FOREVER!
