This conversation happened this morning, while we were having tea in bed.
Connor: “Next time when I’m a dad, I’m going to marry you mommy. And daddy is going to marry you.”
He says “next time” when he refers to time going foward, he hasn’t got the notion of a few years or tomorrow yet.
Me: “Aww that’s lovely my boy, that makes me happy”
**Silence***
Connor: “And Bradley… ummm… Mommy, can boys get married to boys?”
Oh wow, wasn’t sure whether to tell the truth, because a lie would just have been so much easier.
Me: “Yes, in South Africa, boys can marry boys”
Connor looked a little shocked at that, before he asked why. I then explained that sometimes boys don’t like girls, and only like boys.
And there was a little more silence while he digested this.
Connor: “I don’t like boys that much. I think I’ll marry Jade.”

That is *so* cute! My eldest one (who just turned 5), started at a new school at the beginning of this year while his “girlfriend” (let’s call her Sarah) stayed at the previous school – to continue on to the govt school attached, while we sent ours off to private school instead – and we’re leaving the country next year. (hello – background info much?)
Anyhoo, we invited Sarah to my boys 5th birthday party on saturday, so he’s obviously got her ‘on the mind’ again, because when we were driving yesterday, and as usual we were talking about what it would be like when we leave next year, and out of the blue, he says to me, “Mommy, when we leave South Africa…can we come back again?” (hello, massive lump in throat) to which I replied, “Of course honey, why, do you want to come and visit ouma?” and he said, “No, but I do want to come and visit Sarah.” So cute.
