Me: "We already are married"
Emmett: prerequisite to every converstaion "Why?"
Me: "Because Appa and I love each other a lot and one day we decided to live together forever, so we got married. That's what people who love each other a lot and want to live together forever. It's like becoming a team. Appa and I are a team now"
Emmett: "I want Ryan on my team, cause he's fast. Or maybe Ian, he's almost as fast as me"
Me: "It's not a competitive team, honey. It's a team that shares things, like chores and parenting and stuff"
Emmett: "But Appa's the only one who does the dishes, you don't share that"
Me: "Yes, you're right we don't share that cause Appa and I have an arrangement for dishes. I cook, he does the dishes"
Emmett:
Me: "Well, maybe your toys won't be that important to you when it's time for you to get married. One day you might find a nice girl to love and marry, and you won't mind sharing"
Emmett: "I don't think so"
Me: "Well, let's just wait and see. You have plenty of time"
Emmett: "I think so"

Well that is a story you will have to save for when Emmett is older!!! Loved your story about your wedding. I did not realize your pastor was stuck in a ditch. I know I know I am the person who was the shortest distance away from the wedding and couldn't even make it out of the driveway!!! But what a great wedding story and 9 years later......WOW!!!!!!!
I'll second what Anne said about the "save for later" and the wedding (what a slacker she was... I mean, I made it all the way from Green Bay.)
Happy Anniversary. And here's to answering those pesky questions from those little inquiring minds.
Hi, Jenny!
Happy New Year from the Philippines! This is Sunny and Michael Natzke. So precious, so precious, so precious. Emmett sounds so clever and insightful. We say Omma and Appa should do more sharing of their toys. :-)
