Marriage

Kent is very concerned about marriage. He asks who he is going to marry all the time. The conversation usually starts out with questions about why he can't marry his brother.

"Mom, are you SURE I can't marry Cohen?"

"Yes honey, I am very sure you can't marry Cohen"

Then he discusses who he might marry. Sometimes he thinks it will be his friend Abby. Sometimes he thinks it will be his other friend Lauren. He told Pete this morning, "(Sigh) there's just so many girls to choose from!" He cracks me up! I keep assuring him that he really doesn't need to decide this now, but he keeps asking me when, WHEN. So, today I gave him a deadline. I let him know that people do not decide who they are going to marry till they are in college. That stopped the questions for a few minutes. Then he responded, "Mommy, if I marry Lauren, then she will have to leave her family and move in with us." I let him know that he would probably move out when he gets married, because married people like to live in their own houses. He completely freaked out saying, "Mommy, I don't EVER want to move out of our house!

I hope he always feels this way! I told him that he could live with me as long as he wanted it was all smiles again.
