Truett: Last time when you were small, was daddy your brother?
Me: WHAT?? No…Why?
Truett: Then how did you marry daddy?
Me: Ohhh, that’s where you’re going with this. Ok, see…kao fu (uncle) is my brother, just like you and Kirsten. We grew up together and had lots of fun but siblings don’t get married. I only met daddy when I was 19. We were friends in school and then one day daddy asked me to marry him and I said yes. That’s more or less how it happened.
Truett: Daddy is your friend? You married your friend??? Hahahahahahahah how can you marry your friends?
Me: How is that funny? Well, first he was my friend and we liked each other a lot so he became my boyfriend. Like an extra-special friend. And after a while, I realized daddy was the one I wanted to spend the rest of my life with so I agreed to marry him.
Truett: Then next time who am I going to marry?
Me: Don’t worry, one day when you’re older, you’re going to meet someone special. Someone who loves you and makes you happy and who will be just right for you.
Truett: But what if I don’t meet anyone special?
Me: Trust me, you will, son. In fact, I think you’ll be too busy fending off girls so remember to pick a good one ok. And hey, you’re too young to worry about stuff like that now.
Truett: Ok.
*pause*
Kirsten: Kor kor, I cannot marry you anymore. I will choose from my N2 class – Elliot, Derrick, Javier, Afiq or Berwin.
Me: Young lady, there will be no choosing until you turn 18. Or 25. Daddy is going to make sure of that.

I had such a conversation with my girl and she claimed she wanted to marry me because she loves me so much! Well at least she got the concept right of marrying the one your heart loves right :)

I know, right?!! The husband almost got a heart attack when he heard it. I think he’s going to be very stressed when his baby girl starts hanging out with boys..
that’s cute! I also had this conversation with my children. My boy wants to marry me!

Aww so sweet! Kirsten thinks that marrying someone = holding the waist and slow dancing. Clearly too many Disney Princess shows.
hahaha kids are adorable!!
can’t wait till lil finn joins in! :)
Haha it will be lots of fun! I’m looking forward to that too heh.
HAHAHAHA when it’s Finn’s turn, no worries. His elder bro and sis will be helping you fend these questions haha!
they are too cute!!!
That’s true! Can outsource to them to take over, shiok.
That is so adorable! I broke out laughing just reading the conversation because it is just so precious.
Actually I broke out laughing when I heard it too, and I knew I had to write this down in a post in case I forget!
Love this. They obviously have an awesome relationship to want to marry each other! Bubs was rather upset when informed that she cannot marry Daddy!

Sometimes, I think that they’re like an old married couple – bickering one minute and then all hugs and kisses the next.
So cute that bubs wants to marry daddy, he must be very thrilled. :)
Somehow, kids do not get it that Mummy and Daddy are “friends” first before we become couple :)
When they grow older, I will try to make them understand “betrothal” is not so cool in the 21st century.
Who knows, in another 20years, “Marriage” might not be cool anymore :(

Yeah I think that notion blows their mind. For some reason, they think that they have to marry each other, it’s so cute.
