Getting My Man - The Sequel

Several weeks ago, I blogged about the drama surrounding five year olds and romance. Well, things have progressed. First of all, Mallory is not going to marry T-Man. She is going to marry K-Man (I believe unbeknownst to him) and was recently very concerned about A-Man. You see, Mallory was under the impression that A-Man was after her and wanted to marry her. She was so upset that she broke down before an outing in which she would have to drive in A-Man’s car. It went something like this:

“Mommy, I don’t want to marry A-Man. He follows me everywhere and I don’t like it. I don’t want to drive in his car for the field trip.” “Well, Mallory, it is only for 15 minutes. Why don’t you talk to A-Man during the ride about how you feel.” “OK, Mommy.”

Mallory proceeds to climb in A-Man’s car and get buckled in. Just five minutes out of the neighborhood she turns to A-man and says, “A-Man we need to have a talk because I need to tell you how I feel.” A-Man looks at Mallory with a 4 year old quizzical face probably thinking she is going to tell him about the ice cream she had for dinner last night and ask him his favorite type when he hears, “you see A-Man, I don’t want to marry you and I don’t want you to follow me around anymore. I am going to marry K-Man.” Mallory sits back with a sigh of relief after finally getting this off her chest when all of a sudden she is shocked to hear a voice say “I’m not going to marry you. I am going to marry Alise my neighbor.”
Well, after that, Mallory and A-Man fell right back into routine however Mallory now is just fine with A-Man following her around. We better just watch out because before long that old rule of wanting what you can’t have may come into play and the tables might be turned. Keep vigilant A-Man.

Oh, and as for my little angel and her fascination with T-Man…..she told me the other night that she in fact is not going to marry T-Man. Rather, she is going to wait until she gets older and seek out the biggest guy and that is who she is going to marry. Hmmm…well, honey, we will need to talk about those criteria in a few years. But, for now, big is good. Smile.
