"Mommy, how do you fall in love?", "How do you meet a boy?", "How do you know you are in love?", "Will we fight?"GULP! I didn't think that I was going to have to answer questions like that for a little while longer. She will be 6 in less than a month and she already wants to know about love!
I tried not to laugh when she wanted to know if she would fight with her husband, who she wanted to call Dad since it's the man she knows. (Still plenty of innocence!) I did remind her that it is not fighting so much as arguing, which is what she does to me plenty of times a day.
It was such a beautiful thing though. She wanted to know if she would meet someone and why they would love her and that she would love them. It provided the opportunity to seed the thoughts for one day meeting the perfect man for her. I did need to make sure that she knew that she couldn't get married until at least after college. She seemed to agree with me and thankfully I have this blog to revert back to one day to remind her of our agreement!
It was so cute when she said that a boy from VBS said he wanted to marry her and she said she didn't want to because she didn't like what he was wearing! Ha, ha, ha!!! That was hilarious that it was his clothes alone that made her decision. She told me the little boy followed her everywhere and wanted to play with her and he talked a lot! Too funny, but at the same time, I know that this is not something I am ready to deal with. Girls like boys much faster than boys like girls.
Michelle is such a fun girl as I tell her often and boys tend to like hanging out with her. Yikes! She's into keeping up with what they like, Spiderman, Batman, etc. She knows who likes what more. I'm glad she is so good at listening to their interests as every man wants to know their women cares!
I sure hope that I made an impact on her that will last awhile because I know that the next talk is not going to be any easier!
