Jaslyn Contemplates Marriage

Was reading the story of Moses (from the Children’s Bible) to Jaslyn yesterday night and told her about the 10 Commandments. Number 6 was "Husbands and wives must not commit adultery".

Jaslyn asked what 'husbands and wives' meant, so I explained that when 2 people get married, the man will be known as the husband, and the woman will be called wife. For instance, daddy (me) is the husband, and mummy is the wife. When she grows up, she will also marry a man, and he will be her husband, and she will be his wife.

Jaslyn frowned and asked, "Who will I marry?"

I told her she can choose any man she wants, the sole criteria being that he should be a good Christian man.

She frowned, then asked, "Daddy, can you choose for me?"

Jason is a joy. He always responds with a big grin when you say hello to him and would kick his legs excitedly. Have not been able to spend as much time as I like with him due to my being at work during the day and him spending most of the time nursing in the evenings.

Sigh.
