It had to happen sometime (says this child of divorce). The parents of one of Kid’s friends are divorcing, and the mom moved into a condo.
Which Kid keeps calling a canoe.
Condo, canoe. What’s the diff? Except long-term debt versus freedom, I guess.
It’s not the first couple we know divorcing around here, but it seems to be the first divorce that is truly registering with Kid’s 5-year-old brain.
I mean, truly registering.
Now, whenever the hubs and I have a pissin’ match slightly heated conversation on whether half-empty dishwashers should be run, the Kid waves her finger at my face and shouts–
“Mommy, do you want to have a CANOE??!!! ‘Cuz that’s what’s gonna happen!!”
Actually, I’d prefer a kayak.

My kids are the same way. They FREAK OUT about divorce if we so much as disagree about what toppings to have on our pizza.
I remember when I was in grade school, there was one girl in my class whose parents were divorced. She was always considered the “odd” one at school because of it. But now, I think most of the parents in my daughter’s 1st grade class are divorced. How times have changed.

Always go for the kayak over the canoe…actually, try to upgrade to a yacht a la the one Onassis had Jackie sequestered away on. Yep, that’s the ticket.
Ah, canoes. I’m reminded of a Canadian comedy thing I heard back in the 80′s about a guy who was carrying a canoe on his head and was then struck by lightening. The canoe became permanently welded to his head and he then set out to fight crime as Mr. Canoehead.
And to prove I’m not making this up, here’s a link:
