More conversations with my son

As part of an ongoing series, here's yet another conversation with my 4 1/2 year old son.

Yesterday we had some friends over for a visit. We hadn't seen these friends in a while and Buddy didn't remember them, so he was asking about them.

Buddy: are they a man and a woman or both womens (in fairness, one of them has an androgynous nickname).

Me: they are both women.

Buddy: they are married?

Me: yes.

Buddy: them must be from another state.

Me: no, they got married here in California while it was still legal, but it's not legal now.

Buddy: when I get big, my am going to be politics, so my can make it okay for mens to marry mens, and women to marry womens.

I'm astonished at the things he has put together from conversations had and overheard, little bits of News Hour, and osmosis. And I'm thrilled with his politics!
