We have loosely joked since they were babies about how cool it would to be in-laws together (we were pregnant with them at the same time- for about 3 weeks anyway.) We lived here before DM was in Dental School and BFF(#1) got pregnant with her oldest, then our BFF(#2) got pregnant, then BFF(#1) got pregnant again (with my future son-in-law) and I found out I was pregnant with BigM on my lil bro's birthday- which is 5 days before FSIL made his debut! (And I was counting on BFF(#2) to continue the streak but it paused with BigM.) So we all have our own little set of stair step children. I have to admit, I'm very thankful they are not all mine, but I do love them like they are. (Of course LM came almost exactly 2 years later and BFF(#2) joined the "Two Kids Club" back in August- so we are starting another set of stair steps again.)
FSIL said something to the effect of: "I like those girls that live with Mommy Mouse. And I really like the bigger one. I think I'd like to marry her."
BFF(#1) told FSIL that he would have a lot of friends, girls and boys, and sometimes when friends get older, they realize that they love each other and they can get married! I am so excited, we were practically planning the wedding on the phone this afternoon.
And wouldn't you know it, BigM took off her tutu and slipped it over her head- and it looked just like a wedding veil. Coincidence? I think not!
I'm only writing this because #1 it makes me absolutely giddy to think that we may get to skip all that ridiculous dating business in high school and #2 if it really truly does actually happen, we will be able to say they wanted to get married when they were 3 and 4 years old. You know, for posterity and all that.And I kind of like to say "I told you so."
And to those whose sons are included in the "Appropriate Matches for My Mice" list- don't worry, we didn't sign a contract or anything... and you still have a chance with LM.
