On Friday night, we were driving home from having a belated Valentine's Day dinner in town. I asked Allie if she has a boyfriend these days and she said yes. I asked if she got a valentine from him and she said yes. Then Julia spoke up and said that she had a boyfriend. Julia has a pretty limited social circle when it comes to boyfriend candidates. There's the kids at our family daycare. There's the kids she sees at preschool one morning a week (four boys, based on the valentine list we processed). And there's the kids she sees at tumbling class (three boys).
Not surprisingly, Julia said that her boyfriend was Jaden, our daycare provider's son. Julia and Jaden have been raised together since 10 weeks after Julia was born, so there's a bit of an incestuous whiff about their relationship, but anyway. Julia said that she and Jaden were going to live together in his house, that his mom was going to cook food for them, and when they needed money, Jaden was going to drive his (electric-powered kid-size) four wheeler down to the drivethru at the bank. Julia said she was going to get two suckers each time they visited and Jaden would get one.
Greg and I have firm opinions about marriage. We don't think either of our girls should jump into anything until they're at least age 25. Unfortunately, Julia wants the wedding. Thank goodness, all area reception halls are booked for the next 21 years, because she's ready.
