Married At Age 3
April 11, 2008
Thomas is in looooove with the little girl across the street. And why not? She’s adorable, sweet and makes him laugh. Her parents are friends of ours and even though Little B has three big brothers and a protective father, that doesn’t stop him from telling the world he is going to marry her, have babies with her, get a dog, and live in his room with his new family.
Nevermind that he’s 3 and a half. Nevermind that he wants to procreate in my house. He is determined to marry Little B and that is that.
Erm….
Last night we went to get the kids some clothes for my cousins’ wedding tomorrow, and Daren and I were debating what the kids should wear. We pulled into the Sears parking lot and Thomas piped up, “Can *I* come to the wedding?”
“Of course!” Daren and I chimed, “We’re all going to the wedding!”
“Yay!” Thomas yelled. He paused for a second once he jumped out of the car, then looked up at me.
“What about my wife?”
I laughed. “Your wife?”
“Yeah Little B and I are gonna have a wedding. Can she come to this wedding?”
“Uh buddy, the wedding is for Shanno and Salsa (what he called my cousin and her husband-to-be when he was 2), it’s not for you and Little B. You’re not old enough to get married yet.”
“Oh. Well when I am growed up I will marry her. And you can come.”
I took his hand and thanked him for the invitation to his future wedding. It was hard not to notice how big his hands already were. Didn’t I just have him like, yesterday?

“Didn’t I just have him like, yesterday?”
You want to cry?
Imagine this.
That’s probably the exact same thing you’ll think the day he actually DOES get married.

Too cute. But I’d be a bit worried if he was still talking about procreating in your house in about ten years or so from now.

If you lived in Arkansas last year, he could have married her, as long as they had parental consent! Yep! There was a law on the books that allowed toddlers to be married! They changed it FINALLY.
I’m not looking forward to my little one growing up.

What a cutie. These 3 year olds…they are too smart for their age. Mine is determined to marry *me* when he is older. He told me that Daddy will have to find a new girlfriend.

At least he’s planning to be monogamous. My six year old has informed me that he has two girlfriends. He’s going to marry one of them, and the other one is just going to live with them adn be his girlfriend!
WTH, last month he was going to live with me FOREVER.
