Magnolia, the Liberated Pre-Schooler

For quite a while Magnolia would profess that when she grew up she was going to marry her daddy (not sure where I was in this scenario- best not to think about that...). Then for few months she said (at least once a day or so), that she would be marrying her brother, David. Once I broached the subject of this not being quite the done thing, but soon gave that up as defining incest to a four-year-old was a bit beyond me that day.
This past weekend she wondered aloud about what her mama & daddy's wedding looked like. So I popped in the video and she, Chris & I sat down to watch it. She kept wanting to know when the "kissing part" was coming. And informed us that she was never going to be married. When asked why, she replied "because it's redikilas". Why is marraige rediculous, you may ask? "Because of the kissing and dancing", she said. "I'm only going to dance by myself".
