My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Mariana answered, “No, honey. They are just normal people from everywhere like you and me.”

James chimed in, “For example – if Mariana and I get married – we would be a straight couple – husband and wife. If Liam and I get married – we would be a gay couple – husband and husband. If Mariana and Jennifer marry – they would be a lesbian couple – wife and wife.”

Kyle nodded, “Okay, so gay, lesbian, or straight depends on whether you want to marry a boy or girl.”

Mariana nodded, “Yeah, more or less.”

Nathaniel asked, “Does that mean you can change whether you are straight or gay or lesbian anytime?”

Liliana answered, “No. People are generally attracted to boys or girls. Very rarely, they are attracted to both. So, it’s not interchangeable.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Joyanna asked, “What does attracted mean, Mommy?”

Liliana answered, “Do you know what I told you about kissing?”

Joyanna nodded, “We can not kiss anyone on the lips because we are six years old, not babies. If we want to kiss our family members, we can only kiss them on the cheeks. We can’t kiss outsiders.”

Liliana answered, “When you turn 16 or older, you will want to kiss someone – either a boy or a girl on the lips. That means you are attracted to that person.”

Li vigorously nodded, “I think I got it, Mommy.”

Kyle nodded as well, “Yeah, me too.”

Joyanna pouted, “If I want to kiss a boy, I am straight. If I want to kiss a girl, I am lesbian. If Kyle wants to kiss a boy, he is gay. Is that it, Mommy?”

Jonathan answered, “Good girl!”

Kyle furrowed, “It’s a normal thing, right, Mommy? Why did Aunty say it was a bad thing?”

Mariana chimed in. “Do you remember what I told you about narrow-minded people?”

Joyanna lit up. “They are people who do not want to learn new things and grow. We are broad-minded because we take classes every day and grow taller.”

Liliana said, “It does not mean growing taller, but growing as a person as in becoming a good person. But you are more or less correct.”

Mariana explained, “Some narrow-minded people think only boys and girls should marry each other. That’s not true, and it’s wrong to force people. These people think being gay and lesbian is a bad thing.”

“For example, Lil and I are the same age. She is married, but I am not. Some people think it’s a bad thing. To force me to marry someone, someone they chose, they will call me a lesbian and try to shame me. Because they are narrow-minded and think it’s a bad thing.”

James explained further. “We should not care about those people because it’s not wrong to be a gay or lesbian. But sometimes, if your teacher or your boss is narrow-minded, they can cause you problems.”

Nathaniel nodded, “Narrow-minded people make trouble for gay or lesbian people. And other narrow-minded people force them using the fact that they are gay or lesbian.”

Kyle added, “It’s not a bad thing. But bad people make it a bad thing. Is that correct?”

Liliana confirmed, “Yes, you are right.”

Joyanna chippered, “I understand, Mommy. I will be a broad-minded person who will like everyone and won’t cause trouble.”

Jonathan pulled her in his arms, “My little Jo is the best.”

Nathaniel rolled his eyes. ‘Daddy is not even secretive about being biased.’
