The daughter takes a wife.

The other day Lovey was singing The Farmer and the Dell. She happily sang "the daughter takes a wife, the daughter takes a wife, hi ho a derry oh, the daughter takes a wife". I didn't correct her. I was actually proud. It means Honey and I are doing our jobs. It means Lovey doesn't see anything wrong with a girl marrying another girl. Since she was born Honey and I have made sure that when we talk about love and marriage we are either gender neutral or all inclusive. We tell her she can marry whomever she wants boy, girl, black, white, short, tall, fat, purple. You name it. As long as that person treats with respect. Now I just need to see if I can get her to teach that song to Kitten.
