Kindergarten Romance

For a while, JR has told us that a little girl in his class wants to marry him. E.L., a cute little girl with glasses and an interest in Harry Potter, though, is not the girl who inspires longing in JR. That is AM, whose name is always pronounced in a hushed tone with a sigh at the end. So, on this, the day before Valentine's Day, JR came home and told us that "AM says I'm her boyfriend."
"What about E.L.?" I ask. "I thought she wanted to marry you."
"She does. She told me AM is just being sarcastic."

I'm beginning to like E.L. more and more.
