Dating advice...from a 5-year-old

I know that I just blogged....
I also know that my past few blogs have been less than inspiring or articulate...
but I also know that there aren't many who read this...
so none of that matters anyway. Besides, this was pretty humorous.

Today at work, (I work at a Preschool/daycare) the kids started to inquire about my age. Usually when kids ask my age there is a hilarious story to follow.

Two girls began by asking "Miss Anya, how old are you?"
I responded with my favorite question "How old do you think I am?"
"20... 21... 22... 23...24...25... I know... 28! Hmm... 26"
They then proceeded to ask my other 2 co-workers and afterward blurted out "Oh man, Miss Anya is the oldest of them!" (which, of course, stung a little)
Another girl then asked one of my less-favored questions.
"Miss Anya. Are you married?"
"No, I'm not."
"You should go find yourself a boyfriend!"
"Thank you... I will put that in my weekend 'to do' list"
One of our 5-year-olds chimed in, "but probably not until that cut on your head gets better"(I just had the staples removed from my head this morning. The kindergarten kids find it interesting to look at, but apparently feel like it is not helpful in finding boyfriends.)
"Oh. Are you saying it would be difficult to find a boyfriend until my head wound heals?"
"Yep."

The conversation stayed, well... childlike until I had to go. I bid them farewell and headed for my classroom to gather my things. The 5-year-old ran after me informing me "I think that the cut on your head should get a lot better by this weekend..."

Thank you doctor 5-year-old

"...then you should be able to find a boyfriend. I think you should  go to a school and find a big one." (referring to the fact that her boyfriend is "a small one")
Out of pure curiosity for what she might say I asked her "Ok. Is there anything else I should look for?"
"Umm... he should be taller than you. So...you should measure him."
"I should measure him?... Ok. Anything else? Eye color, hair color..."
"Well... I think... blue eyes. And...hair like yours"
"Got it. Tall-er. Brown hair. Blue eyes. Anything else?"
"Yes. When you see your boyfriend you should shove carrots in your mouth"
*wondering if I heard correctly* "I should put carrots in my mouth?"
"Yes. And strawberries."
"So when I see my boyfriend I should hurry and put carrots and strawberries in my mouth?"
* nods*
"Well what will my boyfriend do if I do that?"
"You'll just have to wait and see"

No wonder I'm single. For some reason I NEVER considered that I should be putting carrots and strawberries in my mouth. Needless to say, I will not be taking her advice, but it is sweet that she is so genuinely interested. However, if anyone sees any blue-eyed brunettes out there maybe you could measure them for me (I'm about 5'3" ish) and we'll see if they measure up!
