This is a conversation that I had with Shelby tonight. She’s very insightful.
Shelby: “Mommy.” (She never says it like a question…it’s a statement.) “Do you love Wayne?”
Me: “Well, Shelby, you really have to get to know someone really well before you can say something like that. I’ve only known him for a month.”
Shelby: “Do you think he’s cute?”
Me: (Insert eyeroll here)
Shelby: “Well, do you miss Mike?”
Me: “Nope. ”
Shelby: “Well, do you still like him?”
Me: “Well, I’m sure Mike is a good person, but he is angry about a lot of things in his life and takes it out on other people.”
Shelby: “Well, you used to love him.”
Me: “No Shelby, Mike and I were just friends. I never loved him like a boyfriend.”
Shelby: “Well that’s not nice. You know, if you don’t love someone, Jesus sends you straight to heaven like, right now.”
Me: “Ummmmmm…no, I don’t think that’s how it works.”
Shelby: “Well MOMMY! Okay, it’s like this. I love trees, but trees don’t talk but that doesn’t mean I don’t love them.”
So…there ya go.
