We bought an old Victorian (built, 1875) house in January and now have to chop through all the overgrowth on our half acre property. Our neighbor brought over a chainsaw and we started in on a line of uuuuugly bushes on the west end, discovering a mulberry tree in the process. The kids have never tasted mulberries. This will be sweet, provided the birds don't get 'em first.
Then, Chewy Cheeks (my 4 year old sweet gal) was dragging the bush branches to the drying pile while talking about marriage.
"Daddy, when I get to be the mom, you and mommy will be the grandpa."
"Yep!"
"Daddy's never have boobs, but I have boobs, see! (lifting her shirt)"
"You're right! If I ever grow any, let me know and I'll start eating salads with you."
"Daddy, if you and...if you...if you and mom...you and mommy were the grandpas and I'm the mommy, and the other grandpas are the bigger grandpas..."
"The great grandpas..."
"Yeah, the great big grandpas. So, if they're all the grandpas, who's the daddy?"
"Well, you'll be married to the daddy."
[Big smile!]
"So, I'll be the mommy and I'll go to college."
"It might be easier if you go to college before you become a mommy."
"Ok. I'll go to college when I grow boobs."
Yes, my daughter has a wonderful grasp on life.
