Conversation with a 3-yr-old

Here's the transcript from a conversation I had with Bren this morning on the way to taking her to Ms. Kelley's house.

Bren: Mommy, I'm going to go on a date.

Mommy: (recovering from heart stopping fear) Oh, well, honey, some day you can go on a date but not until your old enough to get married.

Bren: But Mommy, I wanna get married! And I wanna go on a date to get ice cream!

Mommy: Oh, well sweetie, me and your Daddy can take you for ice cream. Won't that be fun?

Bren: Oh yes, I will have a date with Mommy and Daddy and we will get ice cream, and it will ONLY be Bren, Mommy, and Daddy (emphasizing the only to be sure I understand that Holloway isn't invited)...pause...And then I will get married.

Mommy: (recovered enough to now play along) Oh I see, well, who are you going to marry?

Bren: Um, I think I'll marry Evan.

Mommy: Oh, well, Evan is very sweet.

Bren: Yes, and he will have to grow very tall and wear really really long long pants, and that will be really crazy.

Mommy: Yes, that will be very crazy.

The end.
