Triple the Laughs-Marriage edition

So I had an interesting coversation with the kids in the car the other day. We were talking about last names. Eli asked when his last name would change. I explained his wouldn't, but Addison and Morgan's last name could change when they got married. Well that took us down a road I was NOT expecting.

Eli "What will I wear when I get married?"

Me "I don't know buddy, probably a suit."

Eli "What color will my suit be. Where will I get a big suit? Will daddy help me pick out a suit? Who will I marry? Can I marry Addison and Morgan? When can I get married?"

WHOA! This boy is really concerned about marriage at 3 1/2. We talked about that usually boys marry girls and girls marry boys. So they thought it would be OK if they married one another. My response "You guys are family you can't marry each other. That's illegal in most states and your kids will look funny" I was not expecting to get into such a "deep" conversation about marriage, but made sure to say that when they decided to get married if Eli liked a boy that would be OK and vice versa. Thankfully there were no more questions about WHO they would marry.

We moved on to WHY you marry somone. Hmmmm..."because you love them and want to stay together forever and maybe have babies"

Now Eli keeps talking about marrying a baby and is still concerned he won't be able to find the right suit for the big day. Maybe this topic was a bit much for 3 1/2!
