Interrogations from a seven year-old.

Perhaps it is not shocking for me to inform you that the kids in my family tend to be smart. Ya know, because it is so very clear that I am very smart. (The fact that I had to point that out means that I am worried that you all have not picked up on that.) I am the oldest of thirteen cousins on my mom's side of the family. Therefore I get a kick out of spending time with my younger cousins.

While P.I.C. got a lecture as to the better video games for which he should "save up," one of my seven-year old cousins put the screws to me and P.I.C. about our relationship.

Cuz: "Do you guys love each other?"
F.A.: "Yes."
Cuz: "Are you guys maaaaarrrried?"
F.A.: "No."
Cuz: "Why noooooot?"

Silence. (Yeah, P.I.C. Why nooooot?)

Cuz: "Well, are you guys boyfriend-girlfriend?"
F.A.: "Yes."
AT THE SAME TIME, P.I.C. responds: "Well, I guess that depends on what you call 'boyfriend-girlfriend.'" (I believe that air-quotes were involved.)

Well. I think we all figured out the reason that P.I.C. and I are not married.

DISCLAIMER: This is in no way a bitter entry about how I am always the bridesmaid and never the bride. (Even though I am.) This is just to highlight my cousins' hilarity. It runs in the family, clearly.
