Ouch!

Conversation during breakfast with Little Squirt about “Divorce” :

Me: It’s when the mommy and daddy decide they don’t want to be married anymore, so they go to a judge and get special papers to end their marriage. Then they live in different places.

L.S.: But if the mommy and daddy live in different places, where do the kids live?

Me: Usually the kids go back and forth. Like they might live with Mommy during school days, and Daddy during weekends. Something like that. And sometimes the mommy and daddy marry someone else. The new husband or wife is called the Step Mom or Step Dad. But don’t worry, your mommy and daddy have been married for a long time, and we will never get divorced.

L.S. (Perking up): I wish you would!

Me: Why??

L.S.: Because if I had a Step Mom, when I’d ask her to give me ice cream for breakfast, she’d say YES!!
