Marriage in Kindergarten

Oh boy! And so it begins.....my Lainee is already joined in marriage to one lucky little boy in her kindergarten class.

So yesterday, in the midst of all Hailey's viral shenanigans, I received a phone call from Lainee's teacher. Totally expected it was her calling to inform me that Lainee started throwing up at school and I would need to come get her.

Returned her call to find out that silly me, it was just that Lainee was "married" to a friend of hers in her class and that they were holding hands today. My response....I laughed and told her I would speak to her about it when she got home. I guess I should be happy she "got in trouble" for lovin' on somebody rather than being mean or hurtful right?! At the same time I realized we must have allowed our girls to watch one too many princess movies and that they probably think they are living a fairy tale :)

When Lainee came home we talked about it. Lighthearted conversation went like this:
Me: Lainee I got a call from Ms. Langer today.
L: What did she call you for?
Me: Did you marry somebody at school today?
L: Mommy....NOOOOO! "Liam (not the boy she was married to) was telling people that Grayson and I were married.
Me: Were you holding hands with him?
L: noooo...
Me: Lainee, don't lie to me. You will get in trouble if you lie.
L: We were holding hands cause we are best buddies not because we are married.
Me: Ok well can we high five instead of hold hands?
L: Ok Mom.

I am dreading how this conversation is going to evolve over the next 10 years!!!

  1. That is so sweet. Maddie thinks all boy-girl couples are married. Even on Dancing with the Stars. We were watching the other night and while Jaleel White was dancing she said, "Wow, she got a good husband, Mom." Totally from watching too many princess movies. Oh well...worse things could happen:)
