Little One has friends with two mums, two dads, a single mum, an adopted family, divorced parents and knows both non binary people and a friendly adult who has transitioned their gender while we knew them.

We've been to drag queen story times, which Little One enjoys, because dressing up and telling stories and singing is Fun.

None of that has been confusing or an issue at all.

You know what this child finds confusing and upsetting?
That there are people with no home, sleeping in the streets. With nothing to eat.
That makes no sense to them. And rightly so, because it has no justification.

@pezmico You're raising a person of profound wisdom.
@pezmico our chaos monkey ( grand kid ) is the same.
The concept of people being unhoused confuses her. Who people are and who they love does not.
@pezmico the kids are alright. I once asked my kids who they thought was brave and my youngest responded, “the unsheltered! They are so brave to sleep outside every night.” 🥹
@pezmico now explain to the little one that we can't have polyamorous marriage because that would be confusing 🤪
@moz @pezmico my kid has enjoyed counting how many moms they have (up to five at one point). Also, their plan is to be a builder when they grow up so they can build houses for people who don't have them.
@pezmico Hell yes. My kid came home in tears after hearing Jack and the Beanstalk in kindergarten- not because the giant was scary, but because Jack and his mother had no money for food.
@pezmico
This, 100%. If only the Christian Right were actually both truly Christian (they’re not) and right (nope, they’re so wrong).
@pezmico Beautifully put ✅.
