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!!!
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:)
