My kids thoughts on marriage.

"Mom. I'm NEVER going to get married."

okay.

"Maybe I'll get married, but I won't have kids."

okay.

"Can I have kids without getting married?"

Kinda hard. Since you're a boy.

"oh."

Raising kids is a two person job anyway.

"Yeah, but I want to be the one who stays home and plays on the computer."

Gee, Thanks.

"I'm not going to kiss a girl until I get married."

That's fine.

"But that's like forever away."

Mhmm. That's okay. We'd rather you didn't date until college anyway.

"I think I can handle that, but I want to marry O. Okay?"

"Why can't I be the mom?!"

"Because you're a boy!"

"That's sexist!"

"You have to be married before you can have a baby."

"DO NOT!"

"Do so!"

Not really, but it's a good idea.

"Told ya so."

"Really? Mommy, you're joking right. How can people have babies without being married? That's just silly."

"Mom. I want to get married someday, but I don't want to do that yuck stuff you and dad do okay?"

Okay.
