A Conversation with Grace about husbands

Today, Grace stayed home from school because I had to pick her up yesterday afternoon early, due to a fever (she actually had fever off and on this weekend too). Well, she hasn't had fever since and has been perky all day, so of course, she talked to me all day long. Conversations with Grace are so funny; she has lots of thoughts! Here is today's 2 part conversation:

She was talking about wanting a pet and then...
Grace: "When I grow up, I want to have 2 kids and one pet."
Me: "Well, first you will get a husband and then you can have kids and pets."
Grace: "Oh yes. But I will only kiss my husband ONE TIME when we get married."
Me: "Okay. So do you want girls or boys when you have kids?"
Grace: "I want girls that are twins and I will name them Blayke and Hazel. But, first I have to live in a house with my husband. But, I WILL NOT kiss him."

Later, in the car, on the way to dance class...

Grace: "When I grow up, I want to live in New York! But, first I will have to have a conversation with my husband so we can agree on that. Is that like when you and Daddy has a conversation to agree to live in College Station?"
Me: "Yes, we did that."
Grace: "But, maybe I will live in Paris! But, then I will have to speak Paris. I don't know if I can do that."
Me: "Actually, Grace, in Paris you speak French."
Grace: "Well I don't think I can do that. So maybe I will just live in New York. But, first I have to see if my husband will agree to that."

I LOVED her saying "conversation" and "agree" over and over - she sounded so grown up!
