cute kid story

A relative of my wife's is getting married in April. The happy couple asked us if Matthew could be the ring bearer. We agreed, although I confess I am still somewhat shocked at the price of tuxedo rentals for four year olds. We explained the resposibilities to Matthew who agreed that he could hold up his end of the bargain. Yes, I know it's not like he has to take the ring to Mordor, but I have seen pre-schoolers make scenes about this kind of thing before.

Jeannie was taking Matthew to be fitted for his tuxedo on Saturday. Matthew was very excited and asked Jeannie "Mommy, are we getting a bear suit?" "No, why would we get a bear suit," she replied. Matthew a little puzzled asked "I thought I was going to be a ring bear?" This amuses me to no end. He thought he would be the ring bear ... ha, you may have to be a parent to really laugh about this.
