On Marriage

The 4 y.o.: Mom, I don’t know who I am going to marry. It’s certainly not anyone I know right now.
The Mom: Well, you have a long time to find the right boy for you.
The 4 y.o.: But Mom – if I don’t know him now, he’s a stranger. And I’m not supposed to talk to strangers. And if I can’t talk to strangers, how am I going to ever meet him? (deep sigh) I’m never gonna get married.
