A Declaration of Intent.

L, a three and a half year old boy I home-tutor, was ill today.
So we spent the morning sitting on the couch, watching the Balamory Christmas Pantomime, Cinderella.

The romanticism seems to have gone to the wee man's head. As Prince Charming proposed to his beloved, L hugged me and proclaimed "I'm gonna marry you. You're my girlfriend."

My dear chap, if only you knew.

Awwwwwww.

I nannied for a family and the youngest (2 1/2) often used to give me flowers and say lovely charming things.

One of the dive staff there took tips from him a lot. *giggle*

I hope you told him that you don't appreciate being "labled" as his girlfriend without having discussed it with you first. And that if that's his idea of wooing you certainly won't be marrying him.

It's well established that I'm his property when in that house. His brother gets told quite often "Go Away, that's my (kittybeard)".
However, if marriage was on my list of priorities, I'm not sure my biological clock would be up for waiting the 15 years til he's of marriagable age.

"Does James mind?"

Cos I'd so be up for it, if it wasn't for that pesky partner of mine :)

Yeah, it's one of the boons of the job. I'm like God to these minature people.

Pesky partner. Poor fella.

Yeah working with kids is awesome. Must rope you into stuff for Wexford.
Was a blast. So many happy faces.
