Husband problem

From Anya
Gwen: Where is your husband?
Anya: At work.
Gwen: Yes, we always have problems with husbands -- they work all the time, even on weekends.

Future husband considerations

In one of our mother-daughter conversations we got around to talking about kissing and getting married.

Gwen: Who do you think I should marry?

Me: I think you need to wait just a bit more for that.

Gwen: I know, I know... but if I were to get married now -- who do you think would be best?

After my suggestion of a younger boy Misha

......

Gwen: No, ALL husbands are older!

Me: Well, no. You know aunt Yana who is older that her husband.

Gwen: Hmm. She is? Well, I guess Misha wouldn't be that bad and he is more likely to take care of me.

Kissing

Gwenchik saw us kissing and wondered why other parents kiss their kids on the lips and we do not.
Me: When you grow up and marry, you can kiss your husband on the lips.
Gwen: I only want to marry Daddy! And you said that I can't, because he will have to go to prison. And it is so hard to find a husband.
Me: Do not worry about it now, it is a bit early for that.
Gwen: You know, I do not need a husband. I'll just live with Lina or Jasmin or Nastya (her girlfriends) and we would have a daughter and can kiss anyway we like!

Arranged marriage

From Veronika
Gwen: Do you know that I will get a husband when I grow up?
V:?
Gwen: I want to marry my Dad, but mama does not let me. She will get me a different husband.
V: Why do you need a husband?
Gwen: I do not know. I just know that Mom will get me one when I grow up, so I do not take Daddy.

Looking for a husband

Gwen: I will always sleep alone.
Me: No, when you grow up, you will marry a prince.
Gwen: I do not need a prince, just a husband. But I will never find him.
Me: I will help you.
Gwen: Do I have to wait a long, long, long time? Can we start looking soon?

Husband

Third goodnight kiss.
Gwen: Mom, why don't you sleep with me? It is so lonely with just me and my sheep (her night toy).
Me: You know I can't because I sleep with Daddy.
Gwen: Can we buy him a sheep, so that you can sleep with me?
