Sincerely Ian

While I was picking something up from the basement of church about a week ago, Ian and Daniel made the acquaintance of the priest's daughter, who is a lovely, outgoing young lady in her early 20's. ( This is significant; our boys definitely like girls.) She took them out to the church yard, talked to them, and ended up picking a rose for Ian, so he could pass it on to Mommy. In short, the visit, however, brief, was very pleasant.

As we were making our way back to the car, Ian said to her, "It was really nice meeting you."

Then he followed up with me, without missing a beat: "Daddy, I really meant that."
