Ben, 3, is a ladies' man. Wherever he is, he gravitates to the girls. In fact, his favorite aisle at Target is the Princess aisle. At T-Ball on Friday night, Ben decided to play with twins Madeline and Mikalaya instead of the rough-and-tumble boys.
Mostly, he chased the girls
"Dad, I'm going to marry Madeline," Ben confessed a day later in the car.
"You are?," I said.
"Yeah, I told you, she asked me and I said yes."
I don't remember this earlier conversation, but I played along.
"The only problem is I don't know who Madeline is and I don't know who Mikalaya is. They're twins and I can't tell them a part."
Some might see this as a pretty big problem when beginning a marriage, but Max had the solution.
"Ben, you can just ask them their name," big brother pointed out.
