(On the way to school this morning, totally out of the blue)
"Mom, before I can marry the Husband I have to turn into myself."
"That's right honey. It's very important to know who you are and be yourself before you get married."
"Yeah, I just need to be on my own for a little while."
I'm fairly certain that she was relaying a scene from the movie Shrek wherein Princess Fiona turns into an ogre before she marries Shrek. This is why I don't mind her watching movies. Sometimes she gets stuff that I would never have thought to teach her.
So tonight I will record this conversation. I will play it for her every day from her 16th birthday until she graduates from college.
