Marriage
I had the best conversation with my nieces about marriage so I thought I'd share.
Macy (4yrs old): "Emily, what if a 3 year old had a baby in her tummy?"
Me: "Mmm...that would be a lot of responsibility for a 3 year old."
Macy: "Yah, a 3 year old boy and 3 year old girl."
Me: "Do you think 3 year olds are old enough to get married."
Macy: "No!"
Carly (6 years old): "You should at least be old enough to drive before you get married."
Me: "That's probably a good thing to have on the check list."
Robyn (8 years old): "I don't want to date until I'm 17."
Me: "How long do you think you should date before you get married?"
Carly: "A year"
Me: "A year in general or a year with one person before you get married?"
Carly: "A year in general."
Me: "How long should you date one person before you get married?"
Carly: "A month."
The conversation continued with Myles (my brother in law, their dad) saying that it might be a good idea to wait until you're at least 21 to get married (not 17).
I love it! Those girls are SO cute!!

that's awesome!! we're always telling our girls that they can get married AFTER they get home from their missions...
I'm sure this will be fun to review with them someday. Thanks for recording and sharing.
