If you know my daughter then you know she has quite the wild imagination. Which of course is not a bad thing (okay, well sometimes it can get her into trouble). She is definitely full of explanations for everything and has a very mischievous curious way about her (which I admit scares me sometimes just thinking about what may happen each day).
Kayliegh has always been drawn to men/boys even as a baby. Believe me she definitely knew how to bat her eyes and get her way as a infant. This is exactly one reason why there will be bars on her window and a security system in place by the age of 12 maybe even at 10 seeing how as though kids act like little hoodlums these days.
Needless to say she has moved onto her second "boyfriend" now at the age of 5. It's a little boy from school who she says she loves. She told me he kisses her all over. Yes, of course I did what any other mom does and drilled her for answers. Where does he kiss you? How does he kiss you? Did your teachers see? But all answers seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary just a little peck on the cheek on the bus. Believe me I made sure to tell her where he and nobody else can kiss or touch. Just making sure no weirdo is out there groping my daughter.
So I asked her why is he your boyfriend... and here is our conversation:
Kayliegh "Well because I love him!" (as if a "duh mom" statement)
Me: "Why do you love him?"
Kayliegh: "We're going to get married."
Me: "Why are you getting married?"
Kayliegh: "Weeelllll.... because he is the same age as me and as tall as me!"
Me: "So let me get this right, you are boyfriend and girlfriend and love each other because you are the same age and same height?"
Kayliegh:"Exactly"
Me: "What about your other boyfriend? What's he going to think?"
Kayliegh: "He's not my boyfriend only _____ (name) is."
Me: "Why, because the other one wasn't your age and as tall as you?"
Kayliegh: "Yeup"
Me: "Oh, well that makes sense."
A few days later we had some guests come to our house. We brought up her boyfriend/fiance and decided to question her about it. She said the same things over again as our last conversation. But now she had decided she needed to sit down at the table and draw invitations for her wedding. In her mind the wedding was happening the next day. At some point she moved that date up to the same night as which we were talking. So we started drilling her and here are some of her answers to questions (some may be a bit out of order but you get the point)...
Us: "Where are you going to get married?"
Kayliegh: "In a church!!!" (another duh mom moment)
Us: "What are you going to wear? How are you going to find a dress at this hour?"
Kayliegh: "I will wear my flower girl dress"
Us: "Well that makes sense because it's white. Well how are you going to live? You don't work or drive."
Kayliegh: "He will work. And we will drive a soap box. It's the guys job to drive."
Us: "Remind me to fill in Win about that one. Since I drive most of the time."
Kayliegh: "Well you should really talk to him about that it's his job."
Us:What about food? You can't cook are you going to live off of sandwiches and mac and cheese?"
Kayliegh:"Yes, I will learn."
Us: "Why are you in love again?"
Kayliegh: "As old as me and as tall as me"
Us: "Well I wish this was brought to my attention earlier on then I wouldn't have married Win because he isn't the same age as me or as tall as I am. But I think older men are better."
Kayliegh: "Yeah you should void it."
Us: "Well, your wedding is really soon. You have a lot of planning to do. You should just elope in Vegas!" (then we explained what it was to elope and tried to get her to go ask Win's permission. She wouldn't go ask him though.)
If only love and marriage were that easy. Man she has a lot to learn. My little man eater.
