On Marriagement

Mara (to me): I’m going to marry the most beautiful man in the world!

Me: Who is it?

Mara: He’s in the living room [going in living room]

Mara: Micah, can I marry you?. . . . pleeeeeeeze?
Micah: [doesn’t even look up] No
Mara, singing a lilting tune: Oh, dear! I can’t get married today. I thought my marriagement was today. But now I can’t get married.
Ten minutes later . . .

Mara: Let’s dance. [She hugs him, he begins hitting her to stop the hugging.]
Mara: Micah, you should never HIT in a marriage!!
Micah, with a sudden change of mind, takes her hand: Let’s get married.
