N's First Crush

Today at preschool pickup, one of N's schoolmates, Alexandra, had a brother who came with her Dad to pick her up.  This brother was a bit older, I'd guess maybe 4th or 5th grade.

On our way home from school, N said dreamily:
"Alexandra's brother is SO handsome.  I'd like to marry him."

I smiled and said, "Yes, he was a handsome boy."

She replied, a little dismayed, "But he didn't say anything to me."

I replied, "Well, if you'd like to marry him, maybe you should introduce yourself the next time he comes."

She cried out, with a sigh, "Oh, Mama!  I should have said something to him!  I really should have!"

Ah, the bitter regrets of preschool love.
