A Story of Funny Things My Daughter Says

Yay! My first guest blogger! Megan went to Vernal this last weekend and had a hilarious conversation that I had her write down for my blog. So, for your entertainment, here it is!

A Story of Funny Things My Daughter Says
By Megan

Saturday, June 18, 2005 -- We were driving around Vernal, looking at “The Flood” – my mom, me, Skylar (12 years old), and McKenna. As any six-year-old girl is, McKenna is obsessed with princesses. She owns every princess thing known to man (sheets, dolls, clothes, even underwear). As we were driving back to the house, we started to have a discussion about homosexuality. Strange for a six-year-old, right? Well, she’s not any six-year-old (and I’m not just saying that because she’s my daughter, it’s really true). The conversation is as follows:


Mom, when will I find my Prince? (She has frequently asked this question during her short tenure on Earth)

When you’re 30!

Well, grandma says I can go on dates when I am 16! But who can be my prince?




How about Skylar?

NO!

What about Braxton?




Oh, I haven’t seen him for a long time. I think he moved away. What about Jesse or Brian?

They are each other’s princes.

They can’t be each other’s princes! There are no girls there!

(dryly) Why don’t you have your mother explain that to you?

No, they can be my princes.

They can’t! They are each other’s princes!

But, there is no girl there! Two boys can’t be each other’s princes!

They’re gay you idiot!

What does gay mean?

Really, really happy. (to Skylar) How did you know?

(Points to Megan)

(Laughing hysterically!)



I’m sure McKenna will be thinking about that one for a long time.
