My little Morijah sprang one up on me today. I was reading her a storybook of King Nebuchadnezzar. I told her how, in order to save the two countries from potential war, the King of Persia gave his daughter to be married to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.
The story goes to tell that the princess did not want to leave her own country to marry a stranger but she reluctantly agreed in order to save her whole country. To bring it to a kids level, the book read that when King Nebuchadnezzar laid eyes on her, he loved her and gave her beautiful rooms and silks and pet monkeys to play with.
When Morijah heard this part she squealed "Pet monkeys! I would marry him if he gave me pet monkeys!" So I guess that’s the key to a happy marriage from a 7 year old. Pet monkeys. This is helpful stuff.
