I kid you not, this is the conversation I eaves-dropped on while waiting in line to get dinner at Cafe Rio (Saturday, while the boys were playing Star Craft)
Little Girl (about 4 years old): Daddy where is that ladies pretty ring?
Dad: She is probably not married yet honey
Little Girl: But she is going to have a baby, isnt she?
**by this time I have looked around the whole line and yep, I am the only pregnant person*
Dad: Well sweetie, people dont HAVE to be married to have a baby, they are just naughty. But you have to be married to have a baby right?
Little Girl: Right, no babies until after I get married, like you and Mommy.
Can I just say, What The Heck? First of all, what a dang observant and smart kid! Second, as a parent shouldn't you try to explain things in a more appropriate way? Like "she must have left her pretty ring at home" or "when your pregnant things fit differently" SOMETHING! For heavens sake! I AM married, and I am too fat for my ring! Goodness, now I am a little floosy to some 4 yr old girl out there......

No way! Wow! That would make me a little bugged for sure! I couldn't wear my ring either when I was pregnant so I got a cheap band to wear.
hahaha thats so utah
That's funny, Lyss. You should buy a cheapo one like I had to--though it wasn't cuz I was pregnant! :) Just chubby. Remember when you went "ring" shopping with me?!
I was going to say, only in Utah, but she beat me to it. Ya, I agree, go to walmart and pick up a cute "wedding ring" for 7.99 or 14.99 or however cheap they are...just till your other one fits again. I'm sorry, that must have made u so upset! I think I would have turned to them and said "I am married, but someone stole my ring for drug money!" Wait, probably not a good idea. You are darling!!!
