Over supper last night the kids asked their dad if he knew how to make my Sopa recipe. “He doesn’t but it’s on the blog,” I said, “so if I die just go to my blog and print it out.”
“I wouldn’t ever want another mother!” one of the girls exclaimed.
“If I die your dad is going to need another wife. I would want him to marry again. You guys would all have to be really nice and helpful to her.”
They argued with me for a while suggesting that they would be old enough to help their dad and they saw no reason he would need anyone. Then the conversation switched to me. They didn’t think I should ever marry again if something happened to their daddy either.
Finally, one of my girls asked, “You are so old! Why would anyone WANT to marry you?”
Ah ha ha ha! She may have a good point there, whether I’m old or not! I’m so glad my Jason married me!
I’m linked with Messy Marriage and Living Proverbs 31.
Your girls are hilarious! 🙂
Oh my goodness, adorable! My 5 year old has been telling his daddy that he is old and he also pointed out that I have wrinkles on my forehead “like a granny”.
LOL!!!! Kids are a laugh-a-minute!!!!
Isn’t it great how our kids view us and life. I KNOW you are not that old, Esther. You are a young pup in my view! Thanks for sharing the sweet family discussion. It made me laugh and smile because my kids say the same kinds of complimentary things to me too. 🙂 Thanks for linking this up at Wedded Wed. I always love having your humor to lighten the place up!
I remember when my granddaughter walked into my room while I was getting dressed and she said, “You look better with clothes on, Grammy.” : )
Oh my goodness that is hilarious!! My kids guessed that I was turning 54 on my last birthday. Never ask a 4 year old to guess your age!
Not a mom but was a preschool teacher. I jokingly asked one of my 4 yr olds if I could have her teddy bear. She looked at me like I was dumb and exclaimed, “No! You’re way too old! you don’t need a teddy bear when you’re 17!!!” (I was 44)
