Some day in the near future, this conversation will happen…
Boone: Papa, tell us about how you proposed to Mama.
Me: Well, son. I was dressed as The Crow.
Wyatt: What’s The Crow?
Me: It’s a character from a movie… no, wait. It was a comic book first, but they made a movie of it—
Boone: What’s a comic book?
Me: You know those stories with all the pictures you read on your Read-O-Matic 5000 device?
Wyatt: Yes.
Me: Those used to come in, like, a floppy magazine form. Anyway, they made a movie of it… I’m getting off track. I was dressed as a guy who comes back from the dead to avenge his lover’s death.
Wyatt: So, you thought that was the perfect attire for a marriage proposal.
Me: It was kind-of spontaneous.
Wyatt: Please tell me this was for Halloween.
Me: It was.
Boone: What was Mama dressed as?
Me: She… um, I don’t know. Some kind of sexy goth librarian or something. Ask her.
Wyatt: So, that was the night you guys decided to get married.
Me: Uh, no. She didn’t say yes.
Boone: But, she obviously did eventually.
Me: A year later, yes… Hey, if I were her, I would’ve waited, too.
This popped up as a Facebook memory thingy for me. I forgot I’d ever written about this.
