The Night She Proposed

She looked at my wedding ring with 3 year-old eyes

and began by asking the typical questions:

"Where did you get that?"

"Who gave it to you?"

"Where was I?"

So I pointed to a picture from our wedding

and explained the cultural protocol,

and that gave her an idea.

"I would like to marry Drake when I'm big years old."

"You need to marry someone else. People don't marry their brothers."

"But I love Drake, and I'm going to marry him. 

I'm going to ask him."

Dreamily, with confidence, she marched downstairs.

"Drake, will you get married with me when we're big years old?"

"Yesssh."

And that was it: security.
