"Should I ask him if he'll marry you or give you some sperm?"

[KCMommy]

I just wanted to share this annecdote from yesterday afternoon.

I am part- way into my single motherhood by choice journey, and my 5 year old daughter has been present and quite aware of the process of choosing sperm donors. My sisters and I have agonized over things like hair colour, vision, and other donor attributes.

Yesterday, at the gas station, I went inside to pay while 5 year old DD washed the windows with the squigee. When I came back out, she was excited.

DD - "Mommy, a man helped me wash the windows!"
Me - "Oh, that was nice of him."
DD - "He had blonde hair and a blue shirt. Should I ask him if he will marry you or give you some sperm?"

LOL! I am so glad she asked me first.

Seems you might need to have one of those conversations where you explain that some things are fine to talk about in private with family and friends and somethings we don't tell perfect strangers!

Least she's thinking of you!

Very funny!! Reminded me of what my ds did when he was about that age.

We were visiting the White House and there were Secret Service guys everywhere. My son walked up to one and said, "My mom doesn't have a husband. Will you marry her so we can live here forever?" The guy never even cracked a smile so I took that as a big fat no and hustled ds away as fast as I could.
