A conversation with Jake. Not sure where the subject came from. We were talking about choosing books at the library when...
Jake: "I hope I marry a girl named Kaitlin or Emily."
Me: "Oh. Because you like those names?"
Jake: "Yes."
Me: "So do you like those names because of the girls you know?"
Jake: "I only know a girl named Emily. I'm not going to marry her."
And the subject seemed closed. Fine with me! But then...
Jake: "Mom, you know I only like one girl."
Me: "Huh?"
Jake: "You know, Jillian!"
Me: (no words...)
Uh oh! Oh well, I guess we can be confident that this little crush won't progress too far since she's got the wrong name!

Oh dear!!!
He is so cute though, but wow! hold onto something ;-)
I'm glad you wrote this down for posterity. One afternoon when I was a kid, my Dad and I guessed what my brother's future wife's name would be. We wrote it down and sealed it up and put it in a drawer. Years and years later I found it, when getting ready to move out to get married. I had the right name on my piece of paper!!!! So the moral is: you just never know!
He's keeping his options open. Smart lad.
LOL; my oldest, age 4, has been telling her brother about the facts of life, and the discussion always includes a matter-of-fact reference to how she's going to marry a particular boy she knows. Period.
