Yesterday when we were putting her clean laundry away, five year-old Lucy's mind turned to romance. "When I get married, my husband will be very beautiful."
"More beautiful than Daddy?" I asked.
"Oh, yes! More beautiful than Daddy! As beautiful as Mommy!" Lucy turned a shirt over and over in her hands as she pondered her beautiful future spouse. "As beautiful as a butterfly! As beautiful as a flower! As beautiful as a princess!"
not that there's any pressure or anything on the future husband...
ReplyDeletealso, given her previous preferences, i suggest she butch it up and look for a femme lesbian. couldn't hurt.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think that a husband who is as beautiful as a princess is OBVIOUSLY a drag queen, NOT a lipstick lesbian.
ReplyDeleteSo your dream come true after all: a drag queen to shop with.;)
ReplyDeleteI want a husband as beautiful as a butterfly!!!
ReplyDeleteI can think of quite a few men I'd call beautiful...but they all have lovely European accents. Maybe that's the trick.
ReplyDelete"beautiful" men worry me. handsome, yes. i have a wide. wide acceptance of a handsome man with any accent.
ReplyDeletei had a BF years ago who was too pretty. he refused to walk on the beach with me on Fire Island because he thought i was "showing him off". needless to say, i dropped him.
i love me some handsome but beautiful gives me a bit of a skeeviness.
but maybe that's just me.
Well, honey, you are also not five years old.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was five, I wanted to marry Tony the Tiger from the Frosted Flakes commercials.
I think the love for rough trade doesn't hit until pubescence.
"rough trade" (if anyone even knows what that actually is) was never my thing either.
ReplyDeletei liked 'em butch but sensitive. who looked like a muscled construction worker but read the NYT.
now my "partner" looks like a AKC prize winner but acts like she's god's gift to dogs. go figure.
That is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIf Lola marries Johnny Depp, can I be invited to the wedding?
ReplyDeleteMmmm, Johnny Depp!
I think she's more in a Zac Efron state of mind, sigh.
ReplyDeleteZac Efron? Lucy/the great god hasn't ever seen him beyond his movie "High School Musical. Of which I myself hated, and her being my property, what do you people expect her to possibly think?
