Yesterday the kids were playing pretend. I don't know how he worked this out, but everyone agreed that Elijah should be King and everyone should do what he said. The King ordered Miciah to go and find him a girlfriend. Miciah's response? "I don't want to do that." So the King changed his tactics. "Please?" Miciah, taking the easy way out, suggested that I be his girlfriend. It was a short quest. I was laying on the couch and Miciah was only inches away from me. Somehow I thought quests should be more Epic than that.
Elijah decided we should get married. "And kiss on the lips?" I furrowed my brow and said, "Ewww." Miciah performed the "ceremony" with me still only half-paying attention and laying on the couch. When it was over I pretended to kiss Elijah. So that's it. We got married.
What cracked me up about the whole thing is that afterwards, for about 20 minutes, and without me giving him any more attention, Elijah sat behind me, leaned his head on my head, and gently stroked my hair.
He's a softie, that Elijah.
