"Prearranged Toddler Marriage?"

We are proud of our son.  He is 16 months today.  He likes to smile.  He likes
to kiss his mother and I.  He is well behaved.  Keeps us laughing.  He doesnt
cry often.  Never screams or throws tantrums.  In fact, there is nothing about
him that I would change.  He is simply wonderful.

I am amazed at the way in which people react to my son.  Even the most
hardened people melt at the first sight of him.  Complete strangers speak to
him as if he is their long lost friend.  People walking down the street wave and
smile at him.  People driving by in cars have literally stopped to look at our
boy and say, “How are you doing little baby?  You are so cute!”

We once met a young lady who had recently given birth to a daughter.  She
stopped us at the middle of a store entrance and asked if she could see our
son.  We smiled and said sure.  The mother kept remarking to us how
beautiful our son was.  Then, after introducing her daughter to him, said, “Well,
hopefully we will all be family in the near future, when the two of you get
married.”  The woman smiled and we laughed.  Later on during our shopping I
mentioned to my wife, “You know, I think that lady was serious!”

Such offerings of prearranged marriage are not an uncommon experience for
us.  Many mothers have made such a proposition.  I think that what mothers
see in my son is something that we should all strive for.  My son, who is cutter
than a baby squirrel napping on a rabbit’s back, possess’ within him beautiful
qualities, qualities that are very loving, remarkably affectionate, extremely
caring, and expansively compassionate.  I mean, wouldn’t you want your
daughter to marry a guy like that?  My wife and I don’t even have a daughter
yet but I am already sizing up a few key prospects!  -lol
