unbelievable. i am so hell-bent on preventing my kids from having a boyfriend - like EVER ;) [or at least until they're about 21] - that i'd rather tell my daughter J is my fiance than admit he's my boyfriend.
so, yes - nini (my now 5-yr old) asked me this morning whether i missed J.
yes, i said, i do. very much.
n: is he your boyfriend
me: ehm...no..he's more like my fiance (making sh*t up on the fly)
n: what's that?
me: that means you're planning to get married one day. ... but it's not a sure thing...i mean, ok - J is like my fiance 'slash' boyfriend.
n: so you're gonna marry J
me:(thinking: oh sh*t...where is this conversation going?!)..[slight panic] ....yes..maybe...depends...would you like that?
n: yes!
me: really??
me: yes! :)
me: ok. but it's not totally sure, yet and it might be quite a while until this happens (if at all).
nini: christmas? (which is when nini expects J to come back)
me: no, at christmas J is just coming to visit us. and that's not sure either.--- but nini - please don't tell anyone. it's not sure, yet. the whole marriage thing. ok?!
n: O.K.!
five minutes later my little gossip-aunt in the making was already out in the living room telling her older sister that i was getting married on christmas. so there they were, excitedly jumping up and down about mama tying the know. aahhhhhhh. what have i done?! this totally back-fired.
