"Puppy" love?

Malía made me laugh out loud in the car this morning:

Mal: Mama, I don't know how I will get married.

Mama: Really, hon?  Why not?

Mal: Who could marry me?

Mama: Someone who loves you very much and wants to be with you forever.

(long pause)

Mal: Oh, I know. Belia's friend!

Mama: You mean Necco?

Mal: Yes, Necco.  I miss him.

Mama: Well, you know you'll see him again soon.

Mal: When we go to Portugal?

Mama: Yes, e tens de falar para ele só em Português porque ele não entende Inglês. (and you have to speak to him in Portuguese only b/c he doesn't understand English)

Mal: Eu sei.  (I know)

Mama: (teasing her) But, Mal, marriage?  He's really too old for you, I don't know about this..

Mal: It's okay, Mama,  I know.

They're in the same wedding party this summer, but she'll be paired with a little one her own age, so hopefully she'll drop this May-December romance thing!  :)
