I picked up Hugo from his Wednesday school today. Once a week he goes without any of the rest of us to a school in the woods. The teacher told me that Hugo took her aside today and told her that he was going to marry Olive.
Later, when I asked him how the day was, the first thing he said was that he met a girl and he’s going to marry her. His face was all proud and smiley and adorable. He said that she is so beautiful but that she doesn’t brush her hair. That they both don’t want to do climbing and that they both are into ladybugs. Then he said sadly that she doesn’t really like snails though.
This part really got me – he told her that he wanted to marry her! He met her today! They were sitting and talking, and he was swept away. She said that she thinks she’s going to marry her brother. He laughed and set her straight that you really can’t marry your family anyway.
So there you have it! I guess I have nothing to worry about with my son’s confidence when it comes to romance. Where does he get it from? My little smooth talker. I think he’ll make an excellent husband someday.
