Last Friday morning I was getting ready to go to work and having a little chat with Mar bear, who had slept over and woken up at 7:00 AM (I don’t get why kids, who have nothing to do, wake up so EARLY!) She was struggling to understand the hard facts of life… that just because Aunt Kell is taller than Grandma doesn’t mean that I am OLDER than Grandma. Somehow she got onto the topic of dating and marriage (go figure). The conversation went something to the effect of : Maren: “Kell, when you grow up and have a boyfriend, you can tell him he is “hot” and that means that he is cool. Or you can say he is “hot hot” and that means he is really cool. Or you can say that he is “hot hot in the microwave”, and that means that he is REALLY REALLY neat. But you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to."
Me: "Hmmm, good to know Marbear."
Maren: “Yeah and if you want to get married, you just get a wedding dress and just sit on the couch and wait to go on a date. Then you just ask the boy if he wants to get married. If he says “yes” then you get your wedding dress and go to the temple. If he says “no”, then you just ask a other boy." (not a typo, this is how Maren says "another")
Me: "Hmmm."
Maren: “Yeah and when you get married you just get a wedding dress, go to the temple, then come home and put your pajamas on and go to sleep. Did you know that?”
Did I know that?! NO! I had NO idea! HOW COME NO ONE EVER TOLD ME!I didn't know which was more sad the fact that I think her method really might work, or that my 4 year old niece is concerned about my dating life.

I love her sweet thought process. I think the dating advice is good. "If the first one doesn't work out, just try a other one."
Don't worry Kell, I'll help you pick out some real cute "pajama's" for the sleepover after the wedding! wink, wink...
Maren is quite perceptive!
Oh what a sweetheart! That was a great conversation. I am laughing so hard! I also loved the part about the pajama's. And Alina, I am sure you would pick out some really "hot hot in the microwave" pj's for Kell.
I am just a little worried that a four year old knows so much about boys and dating. If I were Miranda, I would lock that one up and throw away the key, especially with the drop dead beautiful eyes that she has and will be batting them at the guy's while sitting on the couch in her wedding dress.
Oh my word! I don't know where she comes up with some of these ideas. She is hilarious but I don't know how I'm going to do when she's 16- I'm truly scared!
from what I hear that is exactly how miranda snagged nate, and put jammies on and go to sleep is also exactly what they did on their wedding night, but thats just what I heard.
I am laughing so hard, there are tears.... That is too funny.
