Must have been an arranged marriage

Posted on October 12, 2013 by ParentingIsFunny

My five-year-old daughter and a friend were discussing relationships. The concept of friendship came up, and she declared, “Mom and Dad aren’t friends! They’re husband and wife!”

Elly and Ernest Cassutto (Photo credit: Wikipedia) I don’t know who those people are, but they look like friends to me.

I guess we better watch out how we act in front of our little ones! I hope our Little Dude doesn’t feel that way because he always says he is going to marry me.

How formal! I don’t think my 3yo has ever referred to us as husband and wife (more like daddy and mama lol).

  True. Those aren’t really words that are said too often in our home.

As long as my kids never refer to Mom and Dad as “lovers,” then I’m okay with it!
