Observant

Marc was at the neighbors helping them build a deck today. So tonight the kids and I headed over to visit. One of their friend's was also there and Marc introduced all of us to him. When the kids and I came home the conversation went like this:

Emma: "Mommy, Daddy has a wife named Tracie"
Me: "Oh? Is it me?"
Emma: "No"
Me: "Daddy has another wife besides me?"
Emma: "Yes, I think so..."

I asked Marc about this when he came home and his conversation with her went like this:

Marc: "Emma, what is my wife's name?"
Emma: "Tracie"
Marc: "Is my wife Mommy?"
Emma (looking at me a little confused): "No?"
Marc: "Did Daddy introduce my wife Tracie to his friend?"
Emma: "YES!"
Marc: "Mommy is my wife Tracie"
Emma: "Oh, Yes!"

She got it! I was just in aw at how she picked up that conversation and how she interpreted it. We got her straightened out though, she now knows Marc only has one wife named Tracie and that is also Mommy.

That was way to funny. Taylor and I laughed until we cried. Glad Emma got it all straight. Kids view on life is so darn cute.

Family roles can be very confusing - Emma, Olivia and Marcus are lucky to have a Mommy that is also their Daddy's wife!

We missed you guys this weekend. Hope the kids are feeling better.
