the talk

Over the weekend, I got... "the talk". I have discovered- after "pseudo" raising 7 kids- that between the ages of 6 & 7, they discover what "getting married" means. The whole girl and boy thing.. and that you fall in love, etc.

This is how the conversation went:

Alexandre- Tara, do you have a husband?

Me- I don't. Don't you think you would have met him by now if I did? I have been with your family a long time now.

Alexandre- Well, I just thought you got tired of him and then just lost him.

(this is when I tried not to laugh out loud, but then took a mental note of how easy it could be!)

Sophia- She isn't old enough to get married!

Me- How old am I?

Sophia- Like, 17....??

Me- Nope! I am 32.

Sophia- Oh, so you are waiting until later...??

(trying not to laugh)

Me- You need to fall in love to get married, guys.

Sophia- I am already in love. With Parker.

Me- What happened to Zeke from your Kindergarten class?

Sophia- He moved and I don't know where he is. That's a big problem.

Me- You're right. If you don't know where your boyfriend is, that could be a problem.

Sophia- Oh, Zeke isn't my boyfriend, I am just in love with him.

Oh, boy.
