Glad to live in 2008

[frualeydis]

Maja told me yesterday that she and her best friend at preschool are in love and that they're going to get married when they grow up and have a baby. And I'm happy to live in 2008 when I don't even have to tell her that there may be a problem with this plan. Not that she would believe that, since she's met my colleague Hanna who has two kids together with her wife.

I once overheard a conversation in our local co-operative market, where a young lady (10?) told another woman that she was having a sleep-over at her friend's house so that she could check out what it was like to have a mommy and a daddy instead of two mommies...she wasn't quite sure it was all it was cracked up to be...

The best friend is female, then, I take it?

Yep.

Hee! That's so cute. :) I love that the next generation will likely not give same-sex couples a second thought.

I just did a little quick research, since I didn't know how Sweden treats same-sex marriage - what a wonderfully liberal policy y'all have! :)

I just mailed a hand-stenciled shirt to my ex-girlfriend and her partner that says "Mamas' boy" on it, with the apostrophe in red-- I'm hoping she thinks it's a funny shirt for their son. I, at least, kept giggling the whole time I was making it. I love grammar geekery.


And I love this little vignette. That is nice.
(Of course, I've never understood parents who felt the need to correct their kids at this young an age-- it's not like they're going to go run off and get married right away! They'll figure out well before it happens that this is not feasible. My own mother was very tolerant at letting us believe whatever we wanted as very young children, and not needlessly squashing fantasies. I had no issue figuring out for myself at around age seven that horses couldn't really fly.)

While it might not be biologically posible for 2 ladies to have a child naturally, I'm sure it fun trying.
