Growing Up Too Fast

The other night Marielle and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie. At one point she turned to me with the saddest little expression on her face and said in the saddest little tone,

"Mommy, I don't have a boy to marry."

I was taken a back a little since she is only four and I imagined I would have several years before such things weighed on her mind. I giggled, smiled, and then told her that she had "plenty of time" and needn't worry about that just yet, to which she responded,

"but I want roses and flowers and pretty things..."
