Marriage

Next weekend we're going to my cousin's wedding. When we told Isaac this, he said, "Don't know why people get married."

Craig explained that people get married when they decide they want to spend the rest of their lives together as a family. I said, "Like Oma is married to Opa, and Grandma is married to Grandpa, and Mama and Dad are married too."

Isaac said happily, "You're married to me!"

Craig said, "No, Mama and Dad are married, and you're our son. Together, we're a family."

Isaac pointed us out. "There's Daddy, and there's Mama. I like Mama best."

Craig and I exchanged a look.

Then Isaac continued. "Because Mama doesn't have whiskers."

Nice to know his affection for me has such a sound basis.

And Craig said it's almost enough to make him shave every day.
