Says she'll marry you when she gets older"''|'''Peter Cetera''', "Daddy's Girl"}}

 

* [[Shirley Temple]] example: in ''Poor Little Rich Girl'', she played Barbara Barry, daughter of a high-powered soap magnate who was rarely home. She says she wants to marry her dad; it was treated as just something a little kid would say.

* The 2008 film ''[[Fireproof]]'' opens with the following exchange (heavily paraphrased):

'''M:''' We won't stop. Marriage lasts forever. }}

** It's surprisingly sweet for being such an [[Anvilicious]] set-up of the movie's anti-divorce theme.

* In one of the later seasons of ''[[Step by Step]]'', Lily informs her father Frank that she's gay because she loves her mother Carol. He gives her a somewhat simplistic explanation of the difference between familial and romantic love and asks her if she wants to marry her mother. She tells him that she doesn't. Because she would rather marry him.

* In one episode of ''[[Home Improvement]]'', Mark, who was about seven at the time, refers to his mom as his "woman":

'''Tim''': [[Deadpan Snarker|A lot of men pay a psychiatrist a lot of money to figure that one out.]] }}

* In the show ''[[Brothers and Sisters]]'' Kitty mentions such a plan. During their childhood, she would pretend to marry her brother Kevin, and they would then be immediately the parents of five children just like their parents. Not quite an example since they were only playing.
