so that explains it...

my earlier post, the wedding picture by our resident artisit, is now a bit clearer to me.
I thought it was just a cute picture dreamed up in the mid of a girl who likes all things girly.
perhaps not...

here is our bedtime conversation:

olivia: i told jacob, (friend at school), that my mom and dad will never break up
me: well that was nice to say, because we don't ever plan on breaking up honey
olivia: well he told me that's not true, and you will one day

holy schmoly jacob! thanks for the confidence!

i explained to her that he does not know mommy and daddy, and that sadly, maybe he has had to deal with this in his own life.

aren't kids just grand reality checks sometimes!?
