On this rainy afternoon, Jake and I decided to watch a video. He picked "Hercules." He took one look at the cover, prompting the following conversation.
Jake: Yuck, it has a princess in it. [Ed. note: She's not a princess, but anyway, she looks just like all the Disney princesses.]
Becky: What's wrong with princesses?
Jake: I don't like it when they do the kissing parts.
Becky: What's wrong with kissing?
Jake [looking like Mommy's got a lot to learn]: It's not a regular kiss, it's a love kiss. I don't like love kisses.
Becky: Do Mommy and Daddy do love kisses?
Jake [looking rather horrified]: NO! But you used to be married.
Becky: Wait, but we're still married.
Jake: I mean, you used to be in a wedding.
Becky: Yes, and now we're married. [overexplaining this point because that's how rumors get started...]
Jake: Well, I don't like love kisses because I'm not in love. I'm still young.
[I leave the room to write this.]
Here's hoping Jake doesn't like "love kisses" for a long, long time...
