Ruby Plays “Wedding”

An actual conversation I had with my four-year-old yesterday:

Me: How was school today?

Ruby: Good.

Me: What did you do?

Ruby: Oh, I played wedding.

Me: (suddenly terrified) You did?

Ruby: Yes.

Me: And how do you play wedding?

Ruby: Well, you just have a wedding silly!

Me: I see.  And who did you marry?

Ruby: Nobody!  I was just supposed to get the hotel.

Me: The hotel?

Ruby: Yes, for everyone to stay at.

Me: Oh, so you didn’t get married?

Ruby: No, silly!

Me: Well, who got married then?

Ruby: I don’t know.  Just some people I don’t know.  I didn’t even go to the wedding part, because I slept through it.

Me: I see.  So nobody in your class was the bride or the groom?

Ruby: No, we were just getting the wedding ready, and then we were so tired that we fell asleep and when we woke up it was Christmas!

Me: And that’s how you play wedding?

Ruby: Yes.  Also we had oranges for snack.

And that is the story of how Tenor Dad was very relieved to discover that his four-year-old daughter was actually playing wedding planner.
