There is something funny about growing older. People are always wanting to know what your goals are, what your job is going to be, what your future plans are, they want to find out where you are headed in life and my absolute favorite (If you can't sense the sarcasm) are you dating anyone? Oh you know, I know this one guy that would be perfect for you... I wish I could count on my hands how many times I have heard that! Ha I'm sure all you single people out there know what I am talking about. You get it from your friends single, dating and married. You get it from aunts, grandmas, moms, co-workers, acquaintances, strangers, etc. But my favorite (not being sarcastic now) is when you hear it from kids. Those are the ones that crack me up, because their views of relationships and dating is so different from ours. Sweet, sweet innocence.
For me, I get questions and input from my students all the time.
"Miss, you should be out dating and having fun."
Me-"Your to young to date."
Student-"Your to old not to date!"
Student-"Miss, are you dating anyone?"
Me-"Nope."
Student-"Why not?"
"Why don't you have a boyfriend?"
"You should date my brother!"
"You should date my dad."
"You should date my cousin."
Ha, I have heard these statements and questions constantly, over and over again. But every time they talk about it it cracks me up, because I don't understand their obsession over it. I also get it from my little cousin which is the reason I am writing this post, because she is hilarious when she gives me and my brother advice. While this is probably not as funny relayed in this form of communication, it is all too funny not to share.
The day before I left for Texas my little cousin sent along a book with her mom to give to me, since she couldn't be there to say good-bye. The book was on relationships... of course! It was called "Finding Ever After: A Romantic Adventure for Her, An Adventurous Romance for Him" In the book she left my brother and I both a note and it went like this:
Dear Ashley & Ty,
I found a book for the two of you to share. Since Ashley is older Ty she will get to read it first. Now Ashley since you are going to Texsas (Sorry I mean) TEXAS there will be plenty of guys there so after you read this you will know if any of them are right for you. Once you have finished from cover-to-cover (Ha I love how she adds this in here!) please pass it on to Ty. And Ty to make sure you are on the right page, use my list to help as a bookmark.
Love your favorite cousin,
Marissa
I couldn't help but burst out laughing! I was talking to my brother the other day and remembered this letter she wrote us that I forgot to relay to him so I shared it then.
"Oh ha that bookmark she's talking about is that list that she made me of what I need to look for in a girl!"
A while back, my aunt and cousins had dinner with my brother while they were in Fargo for hockey. Well this same little cousin of ours wrote him a list of what he needed to look for in a girl, since he was in college now and "needed" to find a girlfriend. My brother read the list to me and it went like this:
First in really big letters it said

My favorites are the largest, but the whole thing makes me laugh every time. She also left a space to write down girls with potential. The list she came up with for him later on was:
1.)Walmart girl ( a random girl my brother had to give a hug and took a picture with for a scavenger hunt at Walmart)
2.) Selena Gomez
Sounds like some great picks to me!
She also called him and left him a message about a singles christian dating service, but it was the wrong number and ended up on someone else phone : ) I'm surprised she hasn't set up an account for us yet!!
