"Mom, you are not old enough to be a parent"
Yesterday on the ride to school Troy asked me how old I was, I answered and he sat there and thought for a minute, "so you were 17 when I was born?" I looked at him like a deer in headlights! "Yes" I replied. The he proceeded to say, "Mom, you are not old enough to be a parent." I felt terrible! Not only was I embarrassed I was being told by a 6, almost 7 year old! Since Troy has been kindergarten a whole year and a half, Danny and I have tried to instill in him that you cannot kiss until marriage, you would not believe what goes on in the schools! The cat is now out of the bag...after I snapped out of shock that my son realized I was a teen mom, he proceeded to say, "I know why you quit college too...to be with dad and me." What!!!!!!!!!where is this coming from? I am still baffled! I don't think I give Troy enough credit for his knowledge of common everyday things. He is only in 1st grade! I guess I was naive enough to think we could live our life acting like we made our family in the "right" order and then break the news when the time was right, but everything happens for a reason and I feel Danny and I are so blessed to have a happy and healthy marriage and the perfect family for us. and thank you to Troy for keeping it REAL!!
