Similarity in Kids

I recently got a chuckle out of a post by my friend, TMK about her son finding some old pictures and wanting to know who the guy was with Mom and did Dad know about him. Today I am writting a comment on a blog and my 7 year old daughter wants to know "Who is Mark? ( Minister from a church we used to attend in VA) and "does Daddy know about him?" Yes. Finally she winds it all up with "Should I be concerned about this?" I assure her that neither herself or her Dad needs to worry about this but wonder where she picked up these ideas. Seems like 7 year olds should be worrying about dolls and if they can have ice cream for dessert, not whether it is wrong for Mom to write a man a note. World sure is changing! I think that my family is removed from the threat of divorce (as the only D word my husband and I know is DEATH, as in "one of us may die but there will be no divorce!") but I guess it does touch my daughter and there is some fear there. I think I will close and go kiss my husband and reassure her a little that he is the only one for me!

It is so sad about our children's concerns now a days. There is just too much around of that around them.

I am SO excited that you are in the blog'o'sphere! I plan on printing them out and giving them to the boys, or at least in a box until they want to read it or their wives do! Have fun and I look forward to reading about your life :)

Great comment!

Kids do have way too much to concern themselves these days. Kids should be allowed to be kids.

I stumbled on to your blog from TMK's.
I am not an aggie, but I had a quick learning curve about all that tradition stuff when our son started school there.
Am I allowed to WHOOP here?

Oh the worries of our children nowadays! POor kids grow up too fast in this society. I hope she's reassured and knows you'll be together forever!
