1 Mother 2 Another

A few days ago, Maddie said out of the
blue, “Mom, could you set up a play date with Jonathon some
time soon?”


Jonathon, in case your memory is as bad as mine, was a boy Maddie
went to preschool with – and who she hasn’t seen since
then. While in preschool the two were great friends, and swore that
they would marry when they were grown-ups. He’s a great kid,
really sweet, but again, haven’t seen him in two years. Which
is, like, a decade to grown-ups.


So I said, “I’ll see if I can; but what made you want a
play date with him now?”


Without batting an eye, Maddie said, “Well, if I’m
going to marry him, we should probably stay in touch.”


O-kay. So I guess that’s still on the calendar.
