On Marriage...

Allie was sitting on our recliner, looking up at our wedding photo.  “You look pretty in your dress, Mommy.”  She asked if I still had my beautiful dress.  I told her I did, but that it was all clean and put away in a box in case she might like to wear it one day if she decided to get married.  “I already decided to marry my daddy,” she announced.

I stifled a snort of laughter and broke the bad news, “Honey, you can’t marry Daddy.  Men can only marry one person [at a time], and I already married him.”

Allison truly looked like she was about to cry, “But then who may I marry, Mommy?!?”
