Dating Advice from my kids

It has been a very interesting week this past week. Last Tuesday I went to the 100 celebration of Bingham High. Which I am very proud to say I attended and graduated from in 1993! Anyway it was amazing thing and I will have to write more about it later because this post isn't about that. Erik graduated from Brighton in 1989. So he is coming up on his 20 year reunion. So he wanted to go to homecoming. He took Johnny and his Dad and went to the football game. He arranged a babysitter and asked me to the dance. So I agreed mainly in disbelief that my husband arranged the whole thing and wanted to take me dancing. I love to dance although he is not the most graceful person in the world and hates it. So I agreed thinking he would never actually go. Low and behold he really planned on taking me to Brighton's homecoming. We got all dressed up and went! I had a great time although many young people kept looking at us old people on the dance floor and pointing. I couldn't decide if I had something in my teeth or hanging from me or it was just cuz I am old. Anyway, as I went to pick up Erik from work and get ready for the dance my kids started asking me questions. The conversation went a little like this...

Kimmie: "Mom are you going to kiss Daddy while you are dancing tonight?"

Johnny: "No that is gross, she wouldn't do that."

Kimmie: "Mom so are you? The price always kisses Cinderella while they are dancing. (I don't know which Cinderella she is watching, but I liked the reference to Cinderella).

Me: "I don't know we will have to see." (thinking I really don't want to discuss this with my children)

Johnny: "Good cuz kissing is yucky."

Kimmie: "I think I like it and I will kiss my prince charming some day."

Me: "yes Kimmie." (thinking I hope this conversation is now over)

Kimmie: "Mom"

Me: "What?"

Kimmie: "If you plan on kissing Daddy tonight please make sure he doesn't eat jalapenos with his dinner. It makes his breath stink, and that is really icky."

Me: (trying not to laugh because she was so servious) "You will have to tell Daddy I don't think he will like that very much from me."

Johnny: "Yeah, don't tell Daddy what to eat, that is Mommy's job. (thinking) but it does stink."

Kimmie: "I will because he can't be a prince charming with stinky breath."

Erik gets in the car. I start laughing.
Erik: "What is so funny?"

Me: "Kimmie why don't you tell Daddy your advice for kissing Mommy tonight?"
Erik puzzled

Kimmie: "He won't be prince charming if I have to tell him everything. "

So my evening was fun and we had a great time. I got wonderful advice from my kids. My kids had a great time at KFC and bowling with Grandpa and Grandma!
