The past two days I've spent the evenings with my Nieces and Nephews. On the way to a roller skating party Tues night I took 3 of
Kelly's boys. Josh(6) asked why my boyfriend never goes anywhere with me. I said I don't have one. He was shocked. Jake(11) and Cam(9) chimed in and said I needed to get one, so they could have someone jump on the trampoline with them. The last boyfriend to jump with them was more than 5 yrs ago, they still ask about him sometimes. Josh then reminded me that I am the
ONLY(his emphasis) one in the family that didn't have a husband. Thanks Josh, never realized that. =) As we were getting out of the car Jake and Cam reassured me that its okay I don't have a husband, because I'm fun. Thanks guys.
Then last night I went to hangout with
Libby's 5 and on the drive back to her house(they drove down to mine) Grace(7) and I we chatting and she asked if my husband lived with me in my house. Again I said I don't have a husband, to which she replied, but you have a house, you're a mom (anyone
that's not a kid and is female is a mom) and a car and did you know everyone else in your family is married with a husband? you should probably get on that. Thanks Grace, why don't you play with your
pollys.
I guess I should quit twiddling my thumbs and get on that, at least for the kids' sake.
oh kids. They say the damndest things! Next time they ask, you should say "I do have a boyfriend, but his wife doesn't know about it..."
