Roxy is postulating about her ideal husband. Lately, she wants to make a lot of decisions about her future and this is apparently one of those important decisions.
She is eight, by the way.
Right now, she thinks her husband should be tall with dark hair. He should wear contacts, too. And he should be sporty, because she does not want someone who is fat.
Roxy is considering what her husband should do. She thinks it is okay if he is a good preacher, but she is not too sure she wants to be married to a preacher. She thinks it would be great if he could fix things, but then he would be fat.
It is at this point in the conversation that we, the parents, get confused. What's wrong with being married to a preacher? And what is this fixation with fat men? And how come a preacher can't fix things around the house? I sometimes have the same question in my head, but let's not dwell on that last one...
So all you eight year old little men out there - Roxy's sizing up her prospects. I certainly hope you have visual impairments, a prominent stature, and that none of you are fat :)
I often wonder how come my preacher can't so much as change a lightbulb. She may be on to something with that theory...
