Uncomfortable Lunch Chat

I had six kids sitting round the table eating lunch, I was doing the dishes and not involved but listening and had to step in.

Masie- Taylor you cant marry a girl, you HAVE to marry a boy
Taylor- NO, you can marry girls but you just cant have babies
Faith- Boys can be with boys and girls can be with girls but it doesn't happen a lot
Masie- But that's just gross
Faith- But its their choice Masie
Masie- still gross
Taylor- Boys that marry boys, that means they will have two penis's
Me- OK OK lets stop this conversation now shall we and talk about something else.
Taylor- Mummy can you marry a girl if you are a girl
Me- (wanting to run away so I don't have this conversation with my 5 year old) That's not how god wanted it, it is meant to be a boy and a girl but some people choose to do it that way. You can marry a girl in some states but not many people like it.
Taylor- (Thinking hard) Do you like it
Me- (can someone kill me please)- I have nothing against people that are gay (I explained the word) They are good people too and everyone has their own choices.

Everyone seemed to leave it there when I mentioned Ice-cream, WHAT!!! I needed to escape!!!

  1. Ha ha! I know this sounds weird but I secretly LOVE those conversations! It's such a great time to introduce diversity into our kiddos lives. I know it's awkward and all that jazz but I would take it any day over Kobe's latest conversations ALWAYS resulting in "Mama we don't sniff people's butts right?" LOL
