*In response to my good friend Dub, I actually do find some things amusing. So, contrary to his popular belief, my agitation has little to do with the amount of action I am getting in my life. I had a great day today. I might blog about it later, I might not. However, this little exchange from a precious gal (and her mother) in my life left me laughing and laughing.
START SCENE
The other night while laying down with Parker, this conversation came out of NOWHERE. Like we had said prayers and goodnight and all was quiet:
Parker: Mom, I can't marry Dallin because he's my cousin.
Me: that's right, you can't.
Parker: Yeah too bad, but you can't marry cousins even if you love them.
Me: Yes, too bad, Dallin will be a very good husband.
Parker: But I can marry Joshie!
Me: Yes you can (really trying not to laugh at this convo).
Parker: He'd be a good husband because we both have blond hair and we like
the same things! Like, I like singing and so does Josh and I like playing in
the gym and so does Josh and I like just doing stuff and so does Josh!
Me: Yes, that would be great. I like Josh, he'd be a good husband, because
he's a good friend.
Parker: Did you know girls can marry friends that are girls?
Me: Yes, I did know that.
Parker: Yeah, like if I had a friend that was a girl, I could marry her.
Me: Um, yes. But you should marry a boy. It's better for a girl to marry a
boy.
Parker: Yeah. But Teigan was saying that a girl can marry a girl and she
said it's complicated to explain.
Me: Oh yeah? When was this?
Parker: We were on the swings and then Uncle Ted took Maren and Spencer into
the wild, so we ran off to go with them, so we just stopped talking about
it! (**this scene was obviously when Denise and family were at Steeds the
night we had family here!)
Me: Oh very interesting. But yes, girls CAN marry girls. But Heavenly Father
wants girls to marry boys.
Parker: Yeah, too bad I can't marry Dallin. But I can marry Josh!
Me: Yes honey, good night.
END SCENE
This kid is five and I think she might be one of the funniest people I know.

Ok...so you don't need to get laid, i digress. I do believe that little kids are amazing and so uplifting...My sister's 5 year old daughter Sanai called me the other Sunday. After some coaxing from her mother, she said,
"Uncle Aaron...you're the BIGGEST uncle I know of! (they had visited a few weeks earlier and i had pushed them on a big tree swing at my other sisters house) Are you taller than all of the uncles?"
I said, "I'm pretty sure I'm the tallest"
She replied, "Are you taller than Jesus?"
I stifled a laugh and said, "I'm not sure, I'm pretty tall...I'm probably taller than Jesus!"
She replied, "Wowwwwww....I knew you were taller than Jesus...are you as strong as Jesus?"
I really had to try hard not to laugh but replied, "No, I'm pretty sure Jesus is the strongest in the WORLS, but i'm pretty strong!"
She replied, "Wow....Jesus IS the strongest, but you're second!"
Hahaha, ahhhh, kids are awesome!
LOVE IT. Jews are short, so you probably for sure have Jesus on that category. He might have better hair than you though!
Yes that kid is funny. Josh will make a fine husband. Or Sydney, whatever she prefers. (I'm not being judgemental, but I would really rather it be Josh.)
I love that picture of her walking in the "wild". She is a treasure.
Funny story Aaron. Kids say the funniest things. Aisy, loved the replay of that conversation. Parker is super funny.
