Not Until You're 23

This is how my conversation with Lincoln went this morning:

Linc: "Mom, where are we going?"
Me: "You're going to the temple with your primary."
Linc: "I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE!"

Then 5 or so minutes of arguing over the fact that he is, indeed, going to the temple.
Finally out of sheer frustration that I wasn't getting it, he tells me what's really bothering him.

Linc: "But Mom, I don't want to get married today!"
Me (trying really hard not to laugh out loud): "Honey you don't have to get married today."
Linc: "But you said I'm going to the temple."
Me: "You are going to the temple. But Buddy, there are other reasons you go to the temple besides getting married."
Linc: "I don't want to get married today."
Me: "I PROMISE you won't get married today...but you do have to go to the temple with your class...and be nice to your teachers."

Heaven help us.

The difference between boys & girls. Whenever we say we're going to the temple, Malia beams and says, "Am I getting married today?!" And gets disappointed when I tell her she isn't...

... maybe we should hook 'em up, eh?

Goodness, he looks 10 in that picture. What a cutie pie! I love what kids will come up with. The other day Emma was itchy and Eliot asked her (very concerned) "do you have fleas?". We busted up.
