Allergic To Boys

After dinner we were driving down

the road and saw a billboard that said:

Are you the one?

(then a picture of a teenagers face)

Stop the spread of STD's.

As we see this, Autumn says:

"What's STD's?"

My response:

"It's a disease"

Autumn:

"What kind of disease?"

Me:

"The kind you get from kissing."

Autumn:

"Kissing, like, your mom and dad?"

Daddy chimed in:

"No, like anyone that isn't your mom or dad".

Autumn:

"That's so weird that your body just

knows it isn't your mom or dad."

As I'm holding in my laughter,

Daddy holds it together enough to come up with this:

"Well, you know how your body is allergic to certain things .... that's kind of how your body works. Sometimes it just KNOWS stuff. It reacts different ways to different things. So a disease is like a reaction in a way. "

Autumn:

"Hmm. I wonder how when you get married

.... your body just knows it's okay to kiss.

After another minute she comes up with this .... hearfelt and as serious as can be:

"Do you think it's the wedding gown?

Does it have something in it that makes you

not allergic to your husband?"

By this time we are home and I am SO thankful.

I'm gonna keep praying she thinks

you are "allergic" to boys until you get married.

That would be awesome!
