“Do you ever want to get married?” I put the question back to him.
It’s a horrible habit answering a question with a question but he doesn’t call me on it. He doesn’t even know he missed an opportunity to call me on it. He is considering options, his face scrunched tight with concentration. Despite having posed the question first he’s never given it much thought regarding himself. It’s understandable because he’s nine. He’s very measured when he finally answers.
“Well, it depends. If I’m rich, which I probably will be, then I think so. Also depending on the girl.” He’s laying down with his chin pressed into his crossed forearms. It forces his jaw to bobble up and down as he speaks making him sound a little robotic. “But I don’t think I’d want to get married if I was poor.”
