Malakai’s Girlfriend

Malakai, Phoebie and Abbie were eating breakfast this morning and we were talking about Malakai’s girlfriends.  

Malakai: “Olivia was my girlfriend first, then Grace.”

Me: “Why isn’t Olivia your girlfriend anymore?”

Phoebie: “Because Olivia started biting.”

Malakai: “And she kept hitting my chair, and made me fall off.”

Me, still thinking about the biting: “She bit you?!”

Malakai: “Yep! And she made me fall off my chair!”

Me: “So you broke up with her?”

Abbie: “Yeah, Mom….she BIT him.”

Malakai: “And knocked me off my chair.”

Phoebie: “So now Grace is his girlfriend.”

Malakai: “But Olivia doesn’t bite anymore, or knock my chair.”

Me: “Well, that’s good.”

Malakai: “Grace is still my girlfriend.”

….and he’s only in kindergarten. GASP!!

Married Life

Adrian and I went out on a date ALONE for the first time in years.  We had a wonderful time and didn’t waste one second.  We talked about our dating years, our wedding, the moment that each of our littles were born…we remembered funny stories and crazy moments…  It was a time of reconnecting.

On the way home, we held hands and watched the Spring snowflakes dance from the sky.  After a long silence, Adrian looked at me adoringly and said, “I am so thankful that we are still married.  I mean, I can’t even imagine trying to date now.  I’d take a woman out to dinner, pay the tab, and then ask her, ‘So, is this the part of the date where you come over and do my laundry?’!!”  

Ahhh, yes… I’m so lucky.
