The following is a conversation I had with my smarty pants little niece:
Are you ever going to have babies?
Well, yes, I want to have babies. But first I have to wait till I have one of these (indicating my empty ring finger) like your mommy has.
You DO have a ring right there on your other finger.
That's right, I do. But it's not quite the same thing. First I want to get married and then I'll have babies. I'll give you lots of little cousins, okay? Does that sound good?
No.
Why not?
You don't even have a boyfriend!
