My 6 year old nephew and I were out walking his baby brother the other day when Eli looked at me very seriously and asked "Lee are you ever going to get married?"
To which I quickly replied, "I don't think so"
"You have to get married!" Eli said with all his 6 year old wisdom about adult relationships
"No I don't, I can live alone, have my own house with a dog and a cat and friends and be happy" I said laughing
"But who will take care of you?"
"I can take care of myself E" I answered , wondering what 1950s sitcom this kid is living in
"NO NO YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO PUT A HITCH ON A TRAILER! YOU NEED A HUSBAND!" and with that pronouncement the conversation is done.
