Heartbroken...

...that's how Cole felt at the conclusion of this conversation:

Cole: "Mom, what if Uncle Jake never gets married?"
Mom: "Oh, I'm sure he will. He just needs to find a nice girlfriend and then ask her to marry him."
(Cole sat looking thoughtful)
Mom: "Do you know someone he could date?"
Cole: "What if it's Aunt Karlee?"
Mom: "Actually, our country has a rule that you can't marry your own sister." (I figured this was a better explanation for him than the reasons behind our country's rule)
Cole, absolutely devastated and with tears forming in his eyes: "But I was going to marry Annie!"

And then he moped around for a good half an hour. Leave it to mom to crush all those childhood dreams. He does seem to be bouncing back okay and told me it probably wouldn't be any of the girls in his primary class either. Secretly, I'm hoping this cures him of saying things like, "When I grow up and marry Annie, maybe we will have three babies!"

That really may be one of the sweetest things ever! How wonderful that he just loves his little sister so much. Beats Addie yelling at Kenzie that she doesn't want to be her sister anymore.
