Coach Virginia, I LOVE your comment. And what your daughter said is beyond brilliant. Kudos to you for being such a fantastic mom, and special kudos to your daughter for being so incredibly enlightened at such a young age. Wow. I've just emailed the link to this conversation to my eldest daughter who is 13.
When my daughter was quite small, only about 3 or 4 years old, I was fixing her breakfast one morning before preschool and out of the blue she commented that she wanted to marry her big brother when she grew up. I told her that, no, she couldn't marry her brother, but that one day she might meet someone who she'd like to marry. She tilted her head to the side and thought about this for a minute and then said that no, that wouldn't be good either. She decided that she wanted to marry herself. I told her that was awesome. Like your daughter, she's not into boyfriends yet, but rather is focused on her relationships with her girlfriends and her schoolwork. I love that and hope she continues on that path at least through high school and maybe even through college.
