All Our Children

This is a guest post by Jason:

The other day, we had the next episode in the Jude/Emily/Jabin drama. The other day, Jude and I were talking about marriage.

I said, "When you get older you will find the girl you want to marry, probably when you are all done school."

"But I already know that I want to marry Emily." After a moment of thought and a slight hint of despondency, he added, "But she wants to marry Jabin... and she can't have two husbands. What am I supposed to do?"

"Well, there is a long time before anyone gets married and you never know what Emily will decide. You never know--she might change her mind."

Who knew the romantic soap opera was going start when our boys were ages 2 and 5 years old creating a love triangle with a 4 year old girl? I thought this would wait about 10 more years. When do I bring out the guys' edict that your brother's girl is off limits--no questions asked?
