The other day I was tending Emma and Pratt when Emma and I had the following conversation:
Emma: "Auntie Dawn, I want to see the picture of you in your pretty white dress." (She indicated to one of Cami's wedding pictures.)
Me: "Emma, I don't have a picture like that because that picture was taken when your mommy and daddy got married, and I am not married."
Emma: "Oh. Do you want to get married?"
Me: "Um, if someday I met someone who I really loved and they really loved me, then maybe we would get married."
Emma: After thinking about it for a moment, "Well, isn't it too late."
(I didn't know that 6 year-olds knew how to ask rhetorical questions.)
Me: (answering anyway) "No, I don't think so. I'm really not THAT old you know."
And with that Emma shrugged and trotted off to play.

Oh how I love those awkward questions from children, like when they ask me if I am growing a baby in my tummy......and I am not. Or when they tell me I look 35.....and I am not. It is those special little moments that make you so much more confident about yourself. I cant wait until James can start asking me questions like that. :) And for the record it is never too late! And definently NOT at 28!
Sorry I meant almost 28.....yeah. I couldnt go back and fix that.
I hear that there are very available and marriage worthy males in Hungary. ahem. (psst! That was an invite.)
Too late? It is never to late for your knight in shining armor to come sweep you off of your feet...that is the way it happens right???
Re: Lindsay's Comment: Thanks for the age clarification. :) and I can't wait for when James is six and he and I have the same, yet slightly sadder, conversation.
Re: Alisha's Comment: Yes I am still waiting dilligently for my knight. And just to clarify my knight is 6 foot 4 inches tall, independently wealthy and preferably orphaned. :)
Oh dawn- it has been a long time since I have laughed out loud for that long....I love it. I dont think James will even notice as long as you dont start collecting cats (or frogs!ha ha) and smelling funny :)
