Children and Marriage

I think that the way children view the world and how things work is very simple. You grow up, nothing really inbetween a young child and an adult. You just go to school then get married and have babies. My mom told me that when my older brother was about three or four he told my mom that she was the most pretty person ever and that he was going to marry her. It is obvious that at that young of an age, my brother did not have a full understanding of marriage and that he viewed my mom as "pretty" and wanted to be her husband. I think this is funny when I think about it, but it also does not suprise me. I am also rarely around younger kids, but I hope that sometime soon I can babysit or work in a day care, talking about how young kids think really makes me want to work with young kids soon!
