Marriage

I was talking to Quinn on Thursday about going to his friend's house after school on Friday. Making sure he knew all the rules and remembered to be polite...all that good mom stuff that they get so tired of hearing.

The subject quickly changed to the things that he wanted to talk about, rather than how he should behave.

He has told me plenty of times before of a few particular girls in his class that try to kiss him (and his friend). Do I think it's too young...yes. But, in the conversations we've had I haven't felt it necessary to take it to another level. It just boils down to the girls saying they are going to kiss the boys and in turn becomes a big game of tag.

On his field trip, I was also told by 3 different girls that they were going to marry Quinn. Guess he is quite the ladies man already. They are just being cute little girls.

All of this to get to just one sentence that I thought was funny. It is amazing how kids minds work. He told me there are 3 girls that want to marry him and one girl in particular wanted to marry his friend, and that he's "just always trying to help him, so that he doesn't have to marry her!"

After I kept myself from laughing out loud, I told him that he didn't have to worry about it, and that I was sure his friend would not have to marry her. His response, "I'm serious mom! We both have to help each other, so we don't have to marry them!"

Well, at least they've got each others backs.
