Marry me, Mommy. Love, your daughter

6yo Amelia just gave me a note that read, "Marry me, Mommy."  She explained that she knew I was already married to Daddy, and that she was too little to get married, but if she were bigger and if I weren't married she would want to marry me because she loved me very much. 

And I said that I loved her very much and that if I weren't already married and if she were old enough, I would definitely consider marrying her, except that mommies aren't allowed to marry their children. 

Amelia was dumbfounded.  "Why would anyone make a law like that?" she asked.

Tradition, I told her.
