Not yet 4 1/2 years old and Maeve already has received her first marriage proposal. We were visiting our friends Georgia, Evan and Owen last night for a playdate and dinner. This was the exchange while we were sitting at the table together:
Evan (leaning over to Maeve): Maeve, will you marry me and grow me a baby?
Maeve (without hesitation): No way!
Georgia and I tried to stifle our smiles – she had prepared me a week or so ago that this might be coming. Evan loves his new baby brother and his friend Maeve!
Me (trying to soften the blow): Maeve, that is such a sweet offer that your friend made. It would be nice to say thank you.
Evan (strong in the face of heartbreak): It’s ok Maeve. You can think about it. It wouldn’t happen for a really long time.
He is such a sweet boy! I am left wishing that we could arrange their marriage…
How precious! What a sweet moment. He sounds like a keeper 🙂
Oh my sweet son and your sweet daughter! If only a marriage could be arranged… 🙂
