Talking With My Youngest About My Prince
Despite all the talk about my online dating exploits, I’ve still spent most of my time with my kids. Last night my son was at a sleepover, so it was just me and my youngest. I told her a bedtime story- she looks so cute when she’s tired. (By the way, I don’t mention their names here for a reason- I want to protect them). Anyway, after the story, she had a few questions.
“What’s a prince?”
“Good question.” I pulled up her blanket. “He’s someone who rescues you.”
“From what?”
“Lots of things. Dragons, scary kings. Everything.”
“OK.” She yawned. “Who’s your prince?”
James and Kurt both popped into my mind.
But I didn’t know which one was the answer.
