After my dentist appointment on Tuesday, I went to pick up the kids from school (usually hubby does it if I'm at work). As mentioned earlier I always pick up the cute girl J in my arms whenever I see her because 1) I love her and 2) she's the only one light enough I'm able to pick up :b (my own kids are too heavy for me for some time now) 3) their family is wonderful so they don't mind 4) she was born in the province my dad was from. She's now very used to get me to pick her up whenever she sees me. 


Today after I picked her up and kissed her, 


J:     Your son asked me to marry him you know.
Me:  Really? again? 
J:     Yes. He wrote it on a card to me asking "Will you marry me?"
Me:  So what's your answer?
J:     Yes. I will.
Me:  Really? You will really marry him when you grow up?
J:     Yes, I will marry him when I grow up if he wants to.

At this point she, still in my arms, called to my kindergartener and asked him if he remembered that card where he asked her to marry him, and he smiled mischievously and nodded.

I repeated the conversation to J's mom who smiled. It was a hot topic at the beginning of school year when they first met in class. I remember the many days when the new kindergartener came home to tell me that he knew he will marry J when he grew up. J's dad was away at the time doing mining consultant work out of province, and whenever I chatted with J's mom, we laughed about this. When J's dad returned home after the season was over in the late fall, J's mom told me that J's dad heard about her daughter and our son's plan to get married and asked gruffly "WHO IS THIS GUY?" and we laughed. But the two kindergarteners were serious. One day my kindergartener casually told me that, after they get married, J will have babies and he won't because he's a boy. And I asked him: did J agree to having babies because it could hurt? (My kids heard about my pain delivering them.) He said yes, they both knew. I checked with J's mom later and indeed the two kindergarteners figured out a future plan by themselves.

This past second semester I didn't hear anything about this plan and thought the deal was off, but now with my son's proposal card I guess it's back on. I asked J if I can take a photo of this card and she will show it to me when we go to her house next time.
