5 year old Annabelle, “Mom, do I have to be married to have a child? Max says I have to be married.”
Me, “Well, it’s probably a good idea.”
Annabelle, “Why?”
Me, “You want the child to have a mom AND dad, right?”
Annabelle, pouting, “Yeah. But then you have to kiss the man. I don’t want to kiss him.”
Me, trying to hasten bedtime, “Ok honey. You do whatever you like.”
Annabelle smiling again, “Yay! I want a child and a dog. Can I have a dog? ‘Cause I really want a dog.”
So cute!
That is so adorable. So, is a dog in your future, then?
Oh I hope not!! I’m cleaning up after enough people.. don’t need to add a dog to the mix. LOL
DOG !!!!!! Every girl needs a DOG. (But, of course, you knew I’d say that.)
hehehehe.. Roxanne, she’d love it if you lived next door. Annabelle is a dog lover. Actually.. an animal lover. She doesn’t play with dolls.. she plays with toy pets. She’s the only little girl I know that gives bottles to baby tigers and elephants and swaddles them in cribs. LOL
As long as she doesn’t start asking for a real baby tiger, I think you’re in the clear.
Sounds like you’ll be getting both a dog and some grandkids (though you’ve got awhile to go for the latter.) Don’t kids say the funniest things?!
That’s so cute. Plus, there’s always adoption – no kissing of boys required!
Save these words for when Annabelle is older. You know, for advice such as “you don’t have to kiss every boy you meet.” Cute story.
