Every night at dinner we do "The question of the day." Kira loves this. We each pick a question to ask everyone at the table during dinner. The following is a transcript of a recent exchange surrounding the QOTD...
Kira: Shall we do the question of the day?
Me: Sure!
Kira: Who has a question?
Randy: I'll go first... name a word that comes to mind when you think of a great husband or daddy.
Me: Randy
Randy: Ha, no, name a trait.
Me: Ok, strength
Randy: Kira?
Kira: Tom*
Randy sadly had just taken a bite of food and is now choking. Tom* is a kid in Kira's class.
Me: OK, well, why does Tom* represent a good husband?
Randy is still choking
Kira: Well, he's the calmest boy in class, and he's really good at studying so I think he'd be good to study with, and he seems like he would take good care of his family.
Me: Well, those all seem like good traits to look for.
Randy has stopped choking, but not yet recovered the power of speech.
I am biting my tongue to stop from suggesting other boys in her class, that *I* would have liked.
Must not interfere. Must let her choose... though I'd rather be letting her choose at 16, not 6...
*Names changed to protect the innocent.

poor Randy. Glad you didn't need to break out the Heimlich manuever.
Hilarious!!
Hi this is Blaze.
My mom says that I had the same things on my mind at Kira's age. It'll all work out, I turned out okay! :)
Aw, yes you absolutely *have* turned out okay! That's good to know. It gives me hope that she won't elope at 16. ;)
