    So... I was talking to my daughter and for the millionth time I slipped casually into our conversation that children can have a mommy and daddy or just a mommy or daddy or two mommies or two daddies etc.

    And she said: I want you to marry a woman.
    Big smile from me, and I said: oh yeah? And what woman should mommy marry? :slight_smile:
    Daughter: someone beautiful....

    And we continued that conversation for a while, with me saying mommy would like to marry a woman too.

    So, there's that conversation done, haha. Of course we'll be talking about this a lot over time, but that was a great start.
