Marriage prospects

Gwenchik and a friend are watching a Russian cartoon " Konek-gorbunok" where an old king wants to marry a young princess.

Nika: I wouldn't marry him.

Gwen: He is fat, lazy and old -- even if he is a king.

Have options...

Gwenchik overheard during one of our friends get together in our house as a friend's mother described how during the discussions about "future wife" her 6 year old son stated that Gwenchik is off the list -- she is his friend girl.

Gwen: Mom, why didn't you correct her?

Me: I should have? I thought you really liked Lesha the most.

Gwen: Well yes, but it is nice to have options. When I grow up I can than choose, right? Doesn't really need to happen now?

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.

Electra complex

From George
While putting Gwenchik to bed, out of the blue comes the following:
Gwen: When I grow up, I will marry you, Dad.
George: But I already have a wife. What about Mom?
Gwen: But I do not want to marry Mom.
