Pray for me....

Oh, where do I begin?

I was getting a bottle for Adrienne in the kitchen. Vanessa and Harley were at the table coloring. I overhear Vanessa say to Harley: "I'm going to marry Luke. And when I'm done with him, I'll let Brianna have him."

So I screamed (in my head) WHAT?! I laughed and laughed. Vanessa asked what I was laughing about, I lied. When I was able to compose myself, I asked her why she would say that. She didn't know, but said again that when she was tired of him she would get rid of him. *help me* I tried to explain simply that wasn't nice and when you marry someone it is forever.

Then at dinner the conversation turned back to love and marriage. Harley's idea of "true love" (which is actually what she keeps calling it, "true love") is between 2 girls and a boy. No,no,no,no,no,no. Since when did my children become Mormon?!

So all during dinner I tried to stress (as kindly as possible) that "true love" is between ONE boy and ONE girl.

This concept was going completely over their heads. I may as well have tried to explain the theory of relativity to them. Without actually saying it, their attitude was pretty much "whatever".

So it looks like home schooling (moving to a remote wooded region of Canada, never letting them out of the house, etc.) is in my children's future!!

Before all the distrubing conversations about boys and girls I noticed an odd smell in the house. I said "something smells funny." Harley says "It's daddy. He stinks up the place." How hilarious!

So to sum things up: Vanessa will use men and toss them aside. Harley will join a cult. Tony stinks.

Oh brother...did I say I wanted a girl this time?! Where did she get that idea of "true love"? Doesn't really matter...your girls are hilarious!
