You have me in absolute stitches here at the office. I love the stories.
I don't have one of my own yet, but my girlfriend's son is like a nephew to me. I went to visit them for the weekend a few weeks ago. As we were heading over to his grandparents to drop him off for a sleepover, he very seriously looked at me and said:
"Mellon, are you getting married?"
I said, "No, honey. I don't have anyone to marry."
He put his head in his hands and shook it back and forth looking very dejected. His mom said from the front seat, "Honey, you'll have to
ask her again. I don't think she understood your question."
It dawned on me at that precise moment that he was actually asking me to marry him. I was more prepared when the question came again, albeit a little more shyly than the first time! He's absolutely adorable! Oh, we were engaged for a whole 24 hours until someone better came along.
