Kids say the darndest things!

So I was babysitting last night. I love babysitting because it gives me a chance to be a big kid every now and then while earning a little extra cash! This family is one I've known for 4 years and at one point I was their full-time summer nanny. JB is the youngest. He and his two older sisters are fascinated with the fact that I have a boyfriend and are always asking me about it. When they were a little younger they used to say to me with big, scared eyes "You know if you marry a boy you have to kiss him!?!" Like that is the worst and grossest thing in the world. Last night as I was putting JB to bed he started asking me questions about Joe.
JB: How old is your boyfriend?
Me: 28
JB: How old are you?
Me: 24
JB: Wow, he is a lot older than you. Are you probably going to marry him?
Me: Probably.
JB: Are you like big time girlfriend and boyfriend?
Me: Yes I think we are big time.
How can you not chuckle at that!? I love seeing things through a child's eyes because it makes the world seem a little less serious. I can always count on JB to make me smile.
