Annie: "I wish you were my mommy."

Me: "No you don't. You love your mommy. You wouldn't want a different one."

Annie considers.

Annie: "Well, she knows where all the candy is. If you were my mommy, I'd have to take you under my wing and train you up."

Annie: "Sometimes people are like, 'I'll be back.'"

Me: "'I'll be back?'"

Annie: "Yeah. Like when someone from another town forces them to leave they're like, (dramatic Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) 'I'll be BACKK.'"

Will and Annie have been making valentines to give to their classmates. Here are my favorites:

Annie and I are playing with her barbie dolls.

Me: "Ring-ring!"

Annie: "Hello?"

Me: "Hey! This is Ken. Wanna go on a date?"

Annie: "I am NOT Barbie."

Me: "Oh. Well, who is this then?"

Annie: "I'm Cinderella."

Me: "Oh. Well hey there! Do you wanna go out?"

Annie: "Um, but what about BARBIE?"

Me: "I don't want to go out with Barbie. I want to go out with you."

Annie: "Okay."

Me: "Great. I'll pick you up at eight."

Annie: "No-o. First we have to get breakfast."

Me: "...Oh. Okay."

Annie: "And also I can just fly there and meet you."

Me: "Okay. Then I'll meet you at the breakfast place in the morning."

Annie: "No, you can just drive to my house and then I'll carry you while I fly."

Me: "Yeah. That sounds manly."

Annie: "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow."

Me: "Alright then."

Annie: "And now you have two girlfriends."

Me: "What? No! I broke up with Barbie!"

Annie: "No. That can't happen."

Me: "...Okay. But...I want to go out with you!"

Annie: "Well, boys can have two girlfriends."

Me: "Um. What?"

Annie: "They CAN."

Me: "Who said that??"

Annie: "I asked my uncle, and he said it was okay."

Me: ...

Annie: "So. Do you still love Barbie?"

Me: "I guess so."

Annie: "Good. See you tomorrow."

A few minutes later, I decided this conversation needed to be addressed.

Me: "You know Annie, in the game it's okay to play this, but it's not a good thing in real life to date two girls at the same time."

Annie: "Why?"

Me: "Well...it's just that when you're in love with someone, you should only be in love with one person at a time."

Annie: "But I'm in love with more than one person."

Me: "Ah."

Annie: "When you're a kid, you can be in love with more than one person."
