Mommy - You Are SO HOT!

Thursday, July 24th, 2008

William is 6.

He has been watching iCarly a lot recently. What I don’t like is that the program contains a lot of negative elements - not violence or really bad things - just things that are not very positive. And once in a while, he would surprise us with some expressions he learned from the program.

Meanwhile, his desire for power continues - specifically, he wants the authority of “being Daddy”.

“Mommy, how did Daddy get his wedding ring?”

“Well, Mommy gave that to Daddy…”

“Mommy, will I be Daddy if I get the ring?”

“Yes… but you have to grow up first.”

“I already grow up - remember the other day you told me?”

“Right… but you have to fall in love with a beautiful girl, and then you get married… and then…”

“Mommy - you’re SOOOO HOT!! Can you marry me? Please??”

“?!”

“William, what did you just say?” I could barely hold my laugh.

“I saw it on iCarly - boys say this when they want a date… Mommy, please can you marry me - I want to be Daddy…”
