Serious Conversations

I had a very serious conversation with Jonathan today. It went something like this....

JC: "Mom, I know who I'm going to marry."
Me: "You do?" trying not to giggle about a six year old arranging his own marriage in first grade.
JC: "Yeah. Mary."
Me: "Really? How do you know?"
JC: "We talked about it. It is a secret, and only Andrew knows."
Me: "Oh, I see."
JC: "I hope I can trust him to keep our secret."
Me: "I bet you can. Why do you want to marry her."
JC: "Because we're both blonde and have light skin. We both like to wear jeans and color. We like each other a lot. She likes blue, green, red, and orange.....just like me. She also likes the movie Hellboy just like me. We like to play together."
Me: "Well, those sound like important things." trying again not to laugh, and also wishing that life was really that simple.
JC: "Yeah. We may start going on dates. I'm thinking about taking her to Disney World. She would really like that. I will need a LOT of money, though. When I get some, I'll take her."
Me: "That sounds like a great idea."

Jonathan is such a little man sometimes. He really thinks about things like this so seriously. He saw a commercial for The Bachelor once and told me he thought that was a really good way to pick a wife. He said, "That looks a lot easier than going to a lot of different countries (meaning states) to look for one."

We are SO in trouble when he gets older!!!!!! :-)
