conversations to and from the splash park

To the splash park:

Sweetie: "Hey mom, when is my wedding."
Me: "Your wedding???!"
Sweetie: "Yeah, like Rachel."
Me: "Oh. You'll get married and have a wedding when you find somebody who you love so much that you want to live forever with them."
. . . pause . . .
Sweetie: "Well, I already found somebody who I love so much and want to live forever with them--It's you."
Mister: "Mom's already had a wedding with Dad. But you can marry me."
Sweetie: "Oh, yeah. I love you. I can marry you."
Me: "You need to marry somebody who's not already in your family."
Mister: "But you married Dad and he's in our family."
Me: "But he wasn't when I married him. You have a lot of years to think about this. You're only 5 and 3. I was 24 when I got married. You can sleep on it."

Back from the splash park:

Me: "Mister, I noticed you playing with that boy over by the water guns. Did you make a new friend today?"
Mister: "No."
Sweetie: "I did."
Me: "Who's your new friend, Sweetie?"
Sweetie: "I'll give you a hint. She always follows me and does whatever I do. . . And she doesn't have a face."
Me, confused: "She doesn't have a face?"
Sweetie: "No, and she always bumps into things. . . . She's my shadow!"

So, apparently Sweetie's into inbreeding and making friends with her shadow. At least it makes for interesting conversations while driving.

My 3 favorite things of the day:
1. Morning loves from my kids.
2. A temperature drop tonight--hurray!!
3. Driving by myself with the music blasting.
