My, How He Loves Them

Ruckus is lovin' him some girls my friends. Which can become super complicated when there are so very many to be fond of.
The other day we had this conversation -

R - Mom, how do you decide which girl to marry first
Me - What do you mean?
R - Ya know, who to marry first, then second, then third....?
Me - Well, you only get married once sweetheart. You only choose "the one".
R - But you didn't. You got married twice.
Me - Right (shoot dog) , but that's usually not "the plan". What you do is date a lot of girls, figure out which one will make you the happiest man, be a good mama to your kids, love the Lord, and then you ask that one to marry you.

He walked away looking overly burdened with the decisions looming in his future.

Later on in the week one of my friends forwarded me this overheard conversation between her daughter, Londyn, and Ruckus:

R - I love Emma
L- You love Emma and not me?
R - No, I love both of you!
L -How do you love both of us?
R - Well, I am dating Emma and marrying you.
L - What is dating?
R - Hanging out, and marrying is forever.
L - Well I'm glad you are marrying me forever.... and I am glad you are marrying me without Emma.
R - Ya well....

Big smiles from this mom. Oh, how I love the ponderings of these little people I'm surrounded by.
