What Does Married Mean?
The other day a clip on television caught my eye. It was on in the background- Angelina Jolie being interviewed (possibly by Barbara Walters).
She shared that her children really want her and Brad Pitt to get married.
Keep in mind, I do not care to keep up with the Jolie-Pitt family.
I promise.
While I have observed that Brad has clearly aged significantly in the last ten years (can I get an Amen?), I really could care less about their views on marriage. I mean really, she allegedly bought him a waterfall for Christmas (I promise I do not watch tons of television).
The Jolie-Pitt family and Crystal & Co., likely have very little in common.
This prompted me to turn to one of my five year old twins, Luke, and ask him a question.
My sweet son who often wears his shirt backwards and his pants tucked into his boots.
Or at least one pant leg tucked into his boots.
I really had no idea what his response was going to be.
M: What does being married mean?
L: Being married means you love each other.
M: What does love mean?
L: You know, it is like that song, *insert singy song voice* I think I’m fallin’, I think I’m fah lin’ I think I’m fallin’, (long pause) for you.
M: Indeed love is just like that song.
Cutest kid ever! And I do love this song.
