If only I could protect the innocence forever

After my cousin's wedding this weekend:

C: "Mommy, the very instant I am a grownup I am going to be married."

Mommy: "C, I'm glad you want to get married, but it might take some time for you to find the right person. It's a big commitment."

C: "Well, when I find the right girl we're going to get married. Or the right boy. I might marry a boy you know."

Mommy: "What is important is that you find someone you love C. And who loves you."

C: "I know Mommy, I know."
