What exactly does “married” mean to her?

Thoughtfully penned on May 5th, 2010 and generally concerning E, Life with littles

A few weeks ago we (Matt, the kids, and I) were driving home from a friend’s wedding when the following conversation occurred…

Little: “Mom, I’m so glad you aren’t married.”

Me: “Little, I am married.”

Little: “No you aren’t.”

Me: “Yes, honey, I am.”

Little: “No you aren’t!”

Me: “Yes, Little, Daddy and Mommy are married.”

Little (with a hilariously serious expression): “No you are NOT!”

Me: “Yes, sweetheart, we are. You know the picture on the mantle of Mommy and Daddy at our wedding? That’s when we got married.”

Little (with a wide-eyed, very serious look): “You aren’t married!”

Me (adamantly and a bit exasperated): “Yes, we are! You’ve seen the pictures from our wedding.”

Little (once again with the wide-eyed serious look): “You don’t have pictures because you are NOT married!”

Matt: “Please don’t say that in public!”

Noise from the peanut gallery

  1. HAHAHA! I love it!!! Wonder what she thinks “married” means!?! Death?! HAHA! Love that little girl’s mind!

  2. What is so funny about this (besides the fact that she is arguing that your married) is Matt’s response! I can totally visualize him saying that….tone and all!

  3. LOL!!!!

  4. That girl!! Love her!

  5. So funny! My Best Girl used to think you were only married when you actually had the dress on–so since I didn’t have my dress on, I wasn’t married. Maybe Little has a similar theory!

Add to the cacophony
