Yesterday Kennah and I were in the car talking.
She starts: I am glad I am not going to spend a lot of money on my wedding cake.
(WHOA!!! Where did this come from??!! This is my little tomboy who never goes there.)
Me: What do you mean?
K: Well Grami or Meghan will make it for me. They make great cakes.
Me: You are right, I am sure they will do that for you.
(I thought the wedding planning was over. I was wrong.)
K: And you will take my pictures.
Me: Well, I might want to participate in the day. I can take part of the pictures.
K: Oh. But you'll get me a really good photographer?
Me: Of course, honey. That's an important thing to me.
K: Great. And you can pay them from the savings on the cake.
(Where is this matrimonial budgeting coming from??!!)
Me (no longer in shock, instead very much enjoying the moment with my girl): And we'll make sure you have live music. That's a priority of dad's.
K: OK
(Now I am really enjoying myself. She is accepting me advice!)
Then I told her about different ways Slade and I could celebrate our 20th anniversary, in 7 years. Big party or trip to Fiji . . . She thinks we should combine it with her sweet 16. (This is the first time she's mentioned anything about even having a sweet 16, much less that she even knows about the concept.)
K: When is your anniversary?
Me: Monday.
Her next question just shows how habits become reality.
K: Who are we staying with?
I love she knows how things are!
