October 2024:
Just me brushing my 4-year-olds hair while getting ready for school:
Ariah: Mummy, do you know what X said to me?
Mummy: No, my darling. What did he say to you?
Ariah: He said he wants to marry me when I grow up.
Mummy trying hard not to jump to conclusions or show any reactions, cool but casually ask: So, what did you say?
Ariah: No way, I’m never getting married! No thank you! Never.
Mummy: And what did X do after you said that?
Ariah: He went away to ask another girl.
Mummy: Well I’m glad that you said no. You’re too young to even think about it.
Ariah: Oh no mummy, even when I’m older, if any boy wants to marry me, I’ll hit his head on the ground, kick him and throw him out the window!
Mummy left speechless. Dear future proposers, don’t say you were not warned!!!!
