On Dating

Here is a conversation that I had with my 3 year old last night:

Lucas: Bye Mama, I'm going on a date with Mary.
Me: What?! Mary who?
Lucas: She has a little lamb.
Me: Is the lamb coming on the date?
Lucas: Yes!

Sheesh! Kids are dating younger and younger these days. I couldn't help but smile that he wants to go out with a nursery rhyme. Not too baaaaaaaaaaaad. Could have been someone like Mary, Mary quite contrary or the little girl with the little curl.

Why does this post remind me of the beautiful poem:

Dead bird
Dead bird

Okay, I don't remember the rest of the poem.....

At least he's only "dating" fictional characters right now. I think I would freak out if he started talking about having dates with our friends' daughters.

Oh, and I have tears in my eyes now from Karin's lovely poem.
