Julie the Therapist

Brooke babysat Saturday night and told me about this exchange she and Julie had at bedtime:

Julie: Brooke?
Brooke: Yes?
Julie: Do you want to get married?
Brooke: Yeah.
Julie: Do you want to have kids?
Brooke: Definitely.
Julie: So, why don't you get a boyfriend?
Brooke: Well, it's not as easy as it sounds. You don't just want any old boyfriend, you want one who's really special and perfect for you.
Julie: Well, are you looking?
Brooke: Yeah, I've dated a lot but haven't met the right person yet.
Julie: I'm sure you'll find him.
Brooke: Thanks, Julie.
Julie: And you know, you can always marry a girl, too. Not that many people do it, but you can if you want.
Brooke: I know, but I think I'd rather marry a boy.
Julie: Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do, too.

I love Julie! What a nice thing to say. And true only here in Massachusetts.
