My nearly-divorced boss brought both her daughters with her to work this morning. The oldest one is 5 and she noticed the picture of Chad and I on my desk.
“Is that your boyfriend,” she asked. I told her that he was my husband.
“But where is your boyfriend?”
I said, “I don’t have a boyfriend. That is my husband. I married him.”
“Ooohhh,” she replied. “My mommy and daddy aren’t together, mom decided to get away from him. Now she is with another guy.” She spoke matter of fact…maybe with a hint of aggravation in her voice.
“Awww, well sometimes that happens,” I told her.
She said, “I broke up with Hayden!” I am assuming Hayden is a boy she knows.
“Why did you break up with him??”
“Because he didn’t play with me long enough. So I broke up with him!”
She then jumped to another subject of conversation.
A child's innocence is so amazing.
