Mom, Will You Marry Me? A Toddler’s Proposal That Melts My Heart

MJ: “Mom, will you marry me?”

Me: “No, I cannot marry you.”

MJ: “Why not?!”

Me: “Because I’m your mother.”

MJ: “But you married my father, you didn’t tell him no. Please just marry me,” he says as he gets down on one knee and kisses my hand.

This has been his question for the last few months—randomly throughout the day. I appreciate how much he loves me; he’s persistent and doesn’t like when I say no. It always turns into a debate and a long explanation as to why it’s not going to happen. Then he insists, “Just marry me for 5 minutes, don’t say no!” 🤣

I truly love my toddler. At just 4 years old, his personality never ceases to amaze me, and I never know where our conversations will lead. One thing’s for sure: my boy loves his mama. 💛
