Jamie looks up with his curious eyes and says:
“I like Nanny Deb. I like Uncle Skills. So what if they like each other?”
It’s a moment that perfectly captures the way kids see relationships: simple, straightforward, and free of all the complications adults add.
Nathan tries to keep things serious:
“It’s a little more complicated than that. Your Nanny Deb is also my mom.”
In classic One Tree Hill style, this highlights the tangled web of relationships—but also how hard it is to explain “adult drama” to a child.

Jamie, not missing a beat, fires back with childlike wisdom:
“Yeah. But I let you kiss my mom.”
At that point, Nathan has no comeback—except the iconic, exasperated line:
“Eat your soup.”

Small Life Lesson
Kids often see the world more clearly than adults. Where adults find obstacles, children see simple solutions. Maybe life would feel lighter if we looked at relationships with the same innocent logic.
