First Love

Today – a very serious and considered conversation with Kit as we were driving home from Hannah's EI:

Kit: I’m going to marry R (Han's BEST friend - a gorgeous 12 yo who lives around the corner and lkes the twins) when I grow up.

Me: That’s nice sweetie.

Kit: Mum, can kids marry other kids?
Me: You get married when you are grown up and find someone you love very much and want to be with forever and ever.


Kit: Well, R and I are going to look at some houses. I think one with 2 bedrooms. Then we might get 1 or 2 babies.
Me: That’s nice sweetie

Kit: Mum, I’ll still visit you. For a sleepover. The first sleep over will be for 3 days, then the next one for 2 days and then for 4 days. But I will visit too.
Me: That’s good sweetie. Cos I’ll miss you. You can ring me too.

Kit: Yes and email you.

Kit: Mum I wonder who S (R's 10yo brother - my godson) will marry since I am going to marry R.
Me: I don’t know

Kit: How old is R?
Me: She’s 12.

Kit: Why?
Me: Because she was born 12 years ago.
Kit: Is her birthday before mine?
Me: R’s birthday is in December.
Kit: Is that before or after October?
Me: After. Are you going to buy her a nice present?
Kit: Yes…. I will buy R a George toy.
You know - Curious George. R and hannah bonded over him LONG ago - and here is my favourite song:

Who's to say
What's impossible
Well they forgot
This world keeps spinning
And with each new day
I can feel a change in everything
And as the surface breaks reflections fade
But in some ways they remain the same
And as my mind begins to spread its wings
There's no stopping curiosity

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
I don't want this feeling to go away

Who's to say
I can't do everything
Well I can try
And as I roll along I begin to find
Things aren't always just what they seem

I want to turn the whole thing upside down
I'll find the things they say just can't be found
I'll share this love I find with everyone
We'll sing and dance to Mother Nature's songs
This world keeps spinning and there's no time to waste
Well it all keeps spinning spinning round and round and

Upside down
Who's to say what's impossible and can't be found
I don't want this feeling to go away

Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Please don't go away
Is this how it's supposed to be
Is this how it's supposed to be



Look out R! (At least he has good taste in girlfriends)

And here is his Dad's respons (thank goodness - I was woried he'd be heading out to get a shotgun!) "Arranging R's dowry. 2 bed house big ask but will try. should be ok for 2020."
