I Think I Handled This Just Fine

This kid is 4.

Kid: “What’s your husband’s name?”

Me: “Eric.”

Kid: “Oh, like PRINCE ERIC?”

Me: “Yes. That is what I call him. Prince Eric.”

Kid (excited, in one breath): “So you used to be a mermaid and sing songs on a rock and had a friend named Sebastian and also a friend Flounder and then you lost your voice so you could be a human and marry Eric and an evil octopus tried to stop you but then she didn’t and then you got your voice back and then you weren’t a mermaid anymore and you and Eric lived happily ever after because you’re the good guys and the good guys always live happily ever after?”

Me: “Woah, um, ok. So that’s not…”

Kid: hopeful.jpg

Me: “You know what? Yes. That is exactly what happened.”

Kid: “I KNEW it.”
