Wedding Etiquette from Preschoolers

I'm a preschool teacher, and today I had a hilarious conversation with a little girl.

4 Year Old Girl: "My mommy's getting married."
Me: "Cool!"
4YOG: "I'm gonna be the flowergirl. If I'm good, I get cake."
Me: "I should hope so, at your mommy's wedding."
4YOG: "You can't hit people at weddings."
Me: "You're right."
4YOG: "You know what happens if you hit people at a wedding?"
Me: "What?"
4YOG: "You don't get cake."

Just so you all know... there's no hitting at weddings!

    Lol I love what little kids have to say. I had a kindergardener tell me that she won't eat black jelly beans because they look like guinea pig poop.

    That is cute! And, sadly, it seems as though this four year old has more sense than some of the brides that post on here.

    This makes me think of the "No soup for you!" on Seinfeld (I've only seen about 3 episodes, but I know that one).  I'd be good, too, if cake were on the line!  Hmmmm ... this has the potential to be a simple, but effective behavior mod. tool for wedding party and guests (and brides!).  

    Kidding, of course, but one can dream  Wink

    My 5 year old flower girl called me the other day to say "I just need to tell you I lost my two front teeth and I might not have any teeth for your wedding. I'm sorry"...It was ADORABLE. When I told her "that's okay, you will still look beautiful" she said "ok good" in a relieved voice !LOL


    Kids that age are adorable

    <div>My daughters are 4 and 3.  It's such an adorable age.  It must be such a wonderful job just to listen to them chatter all day.  They say the cutest things.  </div>

    My FIs neices are going to be our flower girls. They are 4 & 5. Everytime I see them they talk about how they are going to be princesses on that day & all the boys are going to be penguins. They always want to see pictures of my dress too. && picking their dresses, well that was an experience. They are such little divas but it was too cute! & they always tell me how they are going to dance with Uncle [FI] and their daddy (hes the best man). I love them at this age.
