I responded with, "you are ?"
She very matter of factly answered, "yip"
"Why do you want to get married in the temple, Syd ?"
"because the church tells us that we are supposed to"
Nodding my head, "aaaah. I see"
This works out perfectly you see because her fiance Nate is Mormon and will one day be married in the temple himself when he decides to marry.
The next day while driving, Sydney was singing the song, missed me missed me now you've gotta kiss me. A song that her fiance Nate himself taught her. She stops and says, "mom, if Nate sings, missed me missed me now you gotta kiss me....I'm gonna. I'm gonna kiss him"
Several days later, Syd comes running in to the house excitedly repeating, "I can't believe it, I can't believe it"
She ran to the bathroom and closed the door.
I called down the hall, "what's going on Syd ?"
She says, "It's just too crazy mom. So, so crazy"
She finished and headed back down the hall to the front door saying to herself in a very Sally Field sort of way, "he loves me. he really, really loves me"
Later J came in and said..."did you hear ?"
me, "no. what ?"
"Syd proposed to Nate and he said yes"
We both smiled and after telling her what had happened in the house we both laughed out loud.
I'm tellin' ya, there is no planning and preparing for this. She's 5 for pete sake. Too young to be running around all boy crazy. What am I going to do when she's 7.
Do they still sell chastity belts ? ah screw it. nothing duct tape, a chain and some spikes won't fix.
I'm also against owning a gun. but come her 15th birthday, I'm getting one. a big one. something light weight. something automatic. and I'm teaching her brothers how to shoot it ! :)
I believe it was supposed to end in asking. She wrote this by herself. She asked me how 'come' was spelled and we looked it up in a book...other than that she sounded everything else out. She was discouraged that she didn't finger space with and out and when I told her that it was ok, it was one word she was thrilled. SO SMART this one.
