I'm Taking a Second Wife!

I wanted y'all to be the first to know that I am taking a second wife. I also want you to know that it wasn't by my choice. She is forcing me to marry her.

The rest of the story.......
So I was out visiting a friend in his home, and he has three daughters. The youngest daughter walks in sits in my lap and tells me she wants to marry her!

[information you need to know before you stop praying for us and request a mandate for us to come home: she is almost 4 years old]

Well, you can imagine my surprise. Here is our conversation:

W: I want to marry you!
Me: What did you say?
W: I want to marry you!
Me: Why?
W: Because I like you!
Me: Don't you think you are a little young for me?
Her Mother: Yeah, just a little! (I was glad, because I understood sarcasm in another language)
W: No, I like you!
Me: Well, what will my wife say?
W: It's okay, I will be your second wife.
Me: REALLY? (forgetting that is Islam you can have 4 wives) How about you wait and you can marry my son. He will look like me.
W: No! I want to marry you!
Me: Hmm... there is a problem because you are young. Ask your father!

W: Papa, I want to marry him
Papa: Please, take her! (he is laughing)
Me: What!?!
Papa: No, take her!
Me: Okay, how much will you pay me?
Papa: Nothing!
W: PAPA!!!!
Me: Umm...let's wait a couple 20 years and talk again about this.
W: PAPA!!!! (She leaves the room talking very fast in Arabic in an angry tone)

So as you can see negotiations are in the works and in B now has some competition!
