We are officially there.  Oedipus has shown his face and is showing no signs of retreat.  Our home could be a case study for Freud.  Valerie is in love with her Dad.  Aidan is in love with his Mom.  Marriage proposals and arrangements are discusses daily.  Here are some of the statements/conversations we’ve had in our house the past few weeks.

Aidan: “Mom, I just love (said as lub) you.  I’m gonna marry you.”

Valerie: “I’m gonna marry my daddy today.  Marry my daddy.”

Aidan: “Mom, when I get big like daddy,  I’m gonna marry you.  We will get our own house and our own toys.”

Aidan: “I want to marry you so we can always be together.”

Valerie: “I want to marry mommy.”  Aidan’s reply: “Valerie, you can’t marry mommy.  Boys marry girls and girls marry boys.  Right Mom?  Girls don’t marry girls.  Valerie, you can marry Daddy.”

After my first marriage proposal from Aidan, I find out he is already two timing me.  He has also been telling his Nanny they will get married.  I don’t remember all the details, but there is something about race cars in their future.  Anyhow, when I found out about this I called Aidan on it.  I told him he can’t marry me and his Nanny.  His response?  “Yeah I can.  We can both be married Mom!  We can share!”  I still haven’t pinned him down to picking just one of us.  Oh well, I am already full in the husband department anyhow.
