My Harry Potter Loving, Non-Heteronormative Kid

[przed]

Ros' Harry Potter love continues unabated, so we were getting deep into The Goblet of Fire while we were on our trip. We'd hit the section about the Yule Ball, and Ros was trying to guess who Hermione was going with. Which led to this exchange.

Ros: Who do you think Hermione's going with?
Me: I don't know. (I honestly couldn't remember from the movies)
Ros: I think she's going with Krum!
Me: Hmm, I think you might be right.
Ros: But that would make Ron jealous.
Me: It could.
Ros: Because he probably wants to go with Krum because he really likes him.
Me: Huh. Well, you're not wrong.
Ros: But that might be hard because they're both boys.

I feel like I'm doing the parenting thing right. Though I'm a bit sad that she realizes two boys going to the ball would be a bit difficult.

I was hoping to put up a London post tonight, but I cashed out right after Ros did. So instead, have a preview, with a Harry Potter flavour.

I think we make a good wizarding team. *g*

Very jealous of your wizarding skillz.

Your story of Roz imagining Ron and Krum made me remember when Demelza was younger and she said she loved me so much she wanted to marry me. I told her she could marry a man or a lady, whomever she wanted when she was over 21, but not her mother!

Thank you kindly. *g* (I really need a HP icon at this point.)

Your story about Demelza is adorable, and totally the way kids' minds work, no? When Ros was just a toddler, she confidently told us "when I be a teenager, I have a baby!" We've spent the years since affirming that while it is fine to have a baby, once should be an adult, with an education and a good job before that happens.
