how I met my mother

One of the things Henry was really excited about when starting school was recess. It was the first thing he would talk about as I tried to pull teeth start a conversation about what happened in school that day.

"I played with so and so; we played cops, we were the bad guys." He'd chat from his seat right behind me as I looked at him in the rear view mirror.

He continues "The girls chased us around".

A few weeks later I learned there is a specific girl that chases him, her name is Laurie.

"Laurie chased after me, but I ran too fast for her to catch me... I'm never going to marry Laurie".

I laughed a little from the driver's seat of the minivan, of course (as all men do) he means the opposite; he really, really wants to marry Laurie. (FYI men, we are onto you doing the opposite of exactly how you feel, after all, we've all seen the movie he's just not that into you, right?

So, a flier comes in the mail from Henry's school and he asks to look at it. He points out Laurie (see, obviously this is love). I lean over his shoulder to take a look. *This is a small (and very poor quality picture of a picture, plus these are not my kids, so I had to block out eyes, fuzz imagines.... but you'll get the idea.

Hmm...Laurie... does she look like anyone we might know? Oh yes, me.

I know men are suppose to marry their mothers, but starting in Kindergarten?
