Marriage thru the eyes of a 4 year old.

Last night marriage came up in conversation with Jakob and I...
Me: "Jakob, why do people get married?"
Jakob: "To be happy"
Me: "How long do you stay married?"
Jakob: "Until you die, then you recycle them" (Mark isn't sure that Jakob said this, Mark thinks he (Mark) said this - but I think Mark WISHES he had said that."
Me: (trying hard not to laugh) "What do you do when you get married?"
Jakob: "Girls wear a pretty dress, and the Daddy wears a shirt" (I am imagining a man in only a shirt at the alter!)
Me: "Yes, they wear a suit. And you give each other rings."
Jakob: "Where is Daddy's ring?" (Apparently he never noticed Mark's ring - uh huh... I see)
Me: (After pointing the ring out to Jakob) "Then you kiss!"
Jakob: (With an uncomfortable, but silly grin) "Ohhh"
