While driving home from church Lucy and I talk marriage:
Lucy: Mommy, will I ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever find a boy to marry me?
Me: Of course you will.
Lucy: But there are so, so, so many boys that are ALREADY married
Me: Well, God has somebody special picked out for you to marry
Lucy: What is his name?
Me: Well, Lucy I don’t know his name
Lucy: When will I meet him?
Me: I have no idea. God will introduce you when it is time.
Lucy: Mommy, let’s promise to not tell anybody that I asked that.
Me: I promise.

A week later on the way home from school Lucy and I talk about the allure of the “bad boy”
Lucy: Matthew was very bad in school today
Me: Really?
Lucy: Yeah, he got a note sent home to his mommy
Me: What did he do?
Lucy: He is soooo mean. I say nice things to him alllll the time and he never says nice things and today while we were standing in line he tried to bite Karen and then he lied about how many stars he got and then he didn’t stop talking
Me: Wow, sounds like he doesn’t have very good behavior
Lucy: No, but he does have a nice haircut.
She is so right! We all know that boys behave badly, but no girl should have to tolerate a bad haircut on her man!
