Abby's funnies

Tonight Abby was in the car on the way home from her "birthday dinner" (Cici's pizza). Alyce called to wish her a happy birthday. The conversation was so precious! It went something like this:
Alyce: Happy Birthday Abby.
Abby: Happy Birthday Alyce...I mean, thank you.
Alyce: Can you come over to my house?
Abby: Maybe someday, not today though...it's almost my bedtime.

Boy they start early! Alyce's mommy and daddy were going to watch Abby and Caleb for us so we could go to a movie, and without thinking about it being "June 2", I planned it for Tuesday. When I realized it was Abby's b-day, we obviously took a rain check, but Alyce had already heard that Abby was coming over, so she wanted to make sure she could come over another day. Those two are so sweet!

Since my brother got married, Abby has been on this getting married kick. She has asked if she could marry Caleb, because she loved him "the best" and then she wanted to marry daddy. She hadn't asked anything in several days, but tonight she asked, "Mommy, can I marry Dominic?" I told her no, that Dominic was her cousin, and she couldn't marry anyone in her family. She threw herself on the floor heartbroken and yelled, "But, I'll never get to marry anyone!" I calmly told her that she could marry someone only if they were not related to us. She could marry Noah or Clay, or anyone who wasn't family. She seemed okay with this and went on about her business. About 5 minutes later she looked at me and said, "Mommy, daddy is part of our family." I said, "Yep" then she said, "But mommy you married him!"
How am I supposed to respond to that besides laughter? I finally told her that when we got married we became a family-that's how families are made.
Not sure she understood, but it was an awfully funny conversation!
