Courtship

Nini thinks she has it all figured out. She climbed into the van after school one day last week and groaned. I asked what was wrong.

"I found this new heart pencil on my desk today and noone claimed it..."

"Maybe someone left it for you."

"That's what I'm afraid of. I think one of the boys left it for me, and I know what that means...."

"What does that mean?"

"He wants to marry me...." Groan.

Me - Giggle.

I hope that her future husband has to do more than give her a pencil when it comes time for courtship.....
