Little D

I was having a bit of a "moment" this afternoon, nothing too traumatic, just one of those lulls in mood which sometimes happens for any number of reasons (we will not go into the specifics of today).


Little D has got a thing into her head (which I have not corrected) that if a boy and a girl kiss then they have to get married - a lovely view of life I think.


There was an onscreen kiss today and Little D looked at me, with that knowing look she does and says "they will have to get married" I said "yes they will" and then the conversation went like this:


Little D: You and my daddy got married
Me: Yes we did
Little D: Did you kiss daddy?
Me: Yes I did
Little D: Why did you kiss daddy?
Me: Because I liked daddy a lot
Little D: You loved daddy?
Me: Yes I did
Little D: You don't love daddy anymore.  
Me: Mummy and daddy are not married anymore
Little D:  I know, you don't love each other anymore.  It's ok mummy it's because I love you.


Bless her, always they say things like this when your mood is somewhat fragile anyway.


Then it went like this:


Little D:  Are you sad mummy?
Me:  A little bit
Little D: Why are you sad?
Me: I am probably just a bit tired
Little D:  Is it because you are missing your friend ?
(I mean seriously she is 4, how does she do this?)
Me: Maybe a little bit
Little D: Why don't you just go to your friend's house?
Me: I have not spoken to my friend
Little D:  Why don't you just phone your friend?




She has a point.  This simplistic view on life is probably one we should follow and nurture...


.... did I ring said friend, no I did not.  Needless to say it is more complicated than that and I am complex woman who thinks too much with bad, naughty inner monologue.....
