On The Concept Of “Marry”.

Last night, I went out on a date with the husband. Thanks to my mother-in-law who volunteered to have the boys stay over at her home. When we went to pick the boys up this morning, my mother shared with us the conversation she had with the boys. Here goes:

Grandma: 弟弟,你知道爸爸和媽媽去哪里嗎?(Athan, do you know where mum and dad are going?)

Athan: 他們去結婚!(they are going to get married!)

Calvin: 不是! 他們以經結婚了!(no! they are already married!)

Grandma: 是誰告訴你的?(who told you that?)

Calvin: 媽媽!(mum!)

Grandma: LOL!

Just a few days ago, Calvin asked me this:

Calvin:Mum, am I going to marry you when I grow up?

Me: (surprised)No, I am already married.

Calvin: (a little disappointed (I kid you not! :))Oh… to who?

Me: To papa. When you grow up, you will marry a special girl.

Calvin: What special girl? Are you the special girl?

Before I could answer, the boy saw something that has caught his eye and he ran away …. Looks like I’m going to have to answer a few more questions about marriage in the near future. 🙂
