Going out on dates

[judecorp]

I was babysitting tonight and attempting the odious task of trying to get the girl to go to sleep. She usually falls asleep with one of her moms in the trundle bed beside her, and I suppose I am a poor substitute. So we usually end up talking about whatever until the moms come home. Tonight's topic was about going on dates. At one point several weeks ago, when she asked where her moms were, I told her they were on a date. She's been fascinated with dates ever since.

So tonight she asks me why she can't go on a date. So I told her that when she was old enough to drive a car (that seemed like a pretty safe age), she could find someone that she liked and ask that person on a date. I told her she could get in the car and drive with her date, and maybe they would go out to dinner or go to the movies.

So she says to me, "So when I grow up to be Mommy, and someone else grows up to be Mama, I will say, 'Do you want to go on a date?' and she will say, 'Yes I do want to go on a date,' and we will get in the car and she will sit right on the side of me and we will go on a date."

Man, I need to get me one of these crazy things called 'kids.' They're so fabulous.

or, in my life, my housemate (who was dating housemate #2 that my best friend had a big crush on (the housemate #2 who was the best friend of my best friend's ex-partner)) tells me she has a crush on me, but we're both too awkward to do anything about it, and also I have a crush on her OTHER recent ex-partner, who I hated for a year before that. and I've been on the verge of getting with housemate #2 and best friend for about a year as well.

ah, if only it were that easy. Mommy and Mama, sitting in a car.
