Yes, you read that headline correctly. Blue Ivy Carter is old enough to make her opinions known to the adults in her life.

And because this Baby Blue we’re talking about and not some peasant toddler, she’s able to make big things happen just by speaking her mind.

Last week, Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles, married Richard Lawson in a small but swanky ceremony aboard a yacht, and while the couple had been dating since 2013, in a recent interview with E! News, Knowles revealed that it was a push from Blue that led them to take the next step: 

“In September, we went on a boat with Beyoncé and Jay Z and when we came out one night dressed to go to dinner, Blue said, ‘Oh, y’all look beautiful. When are y’all getting married?'”

Knowles Lawson responded by asking for Blue’s approval, and the 3-year-old gave him the go-ahead to propose.

Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised. We already knew that Blue Ivy can floss with the best of them, and she’s already seen more of the world than most of us will in our entire lifetimes. 

It makes sense that with all our worldly experience, the adults in her life would be smart enough to heed her words.

Don’t get it twisted, though. Despite all her wisdom and sophistication, Blue Ivy still enjoys a visit with the Easter Bunny.
