Children
We're all in the car driving home from piano lessons.
Kate: "Mom, can we go out to lunch today?" (Typical question after piano)
Mom: "No, dad told me before I left that when I got back he wanted to go out for a meeting."
Katie: "That probably means another trip to Starbucks" (spoken with a slight hint of sarcasm)
Mom: "Yep! It probably does." (spoken with a huge hint of expectation and joy)
Kate: "You always have meetings with dad at Starbucks." (subtle attempt at manipulation and guilt)
Kristin: "Marry well Katie! marry well!" (wise advice from an older sister who loves Starbucks!)

Marry Well.
Such wise words. Words that one does not hear in our day.
I love watching Pride and Prejudice (and the other Jane Austen movies) because I like how the emphasis is on a person's character.
I tell my daughter....Character....it's all about character!
I will now start saying 'marry well'.
Thanks!
