The Proposal

I never know what Aidan will ask - but it is always interesting and will certainly either make me laugh or often, even cry. Take yesterday for example:

Aidan: "Mom, when two people get married, does that mean that they have to move away?"

Me: "Well, sure - when two people get married, they do usually move in together into a home of their own."

Aidan then starts to cry. Big fat tears welling up in those beautiful brown eyes. He then wails, "But I don't ever want to move away from you. Ever!"

Knowing full well that I am going to make life very difficult for the little hussy who tries to steal my sweet boy away from me, I give him a huge hug and respond, "Okay, well, you can just live with me forever."

"Forever?"

"Forever."

Aidan is quiet for a second and then responds, "I have an idea. How 'bout I marry you and then we can move away and get a house of our own?"

My sweet darling little boy.
