Oh, Linds. Your humility and your willingness to grow teach me so much. Certainly it is also vice versa?

How grateful I am that love is blind! It tricks a man into seeing the desired characteristics in his girl until she grows to possess them.

Haha, I hadn’t thought about it like that, ie, reserving her for himself.

I’m glad you fellas found your dream girls. That’s funny, Ed and Margaret. I have no idea about the copyright, Jared. He supposedly wrote it for a school assignment of some kind, but you don’t usually copyright things like that. Perhaps he foresaw that his grandchildren would be using it someday, or, he may have been wanting to reserve his dream girl for himself, as Ed suggests.

You know, I had visions of a dream girl myself in high school and on the mission. These can be hit-or-miss. In my case, luckily I wasn’t paying a lot of attention to those imaginings when I did get married.

My husband never pictured himself marrying a redhead. He imagined his bride to be dark-haired and olive-skinned. I think I was a cosmic joke.

I’m curious about that too, Ed. Liz, is there a story behind the copyright or was that maybe just a playful designation on his part?

I never made a list, but I remember once saying “I would like to marry a girl like…” and named a girl that I was friends with. A year later I got married to her, after realizing that if I wanted to marry someone like that, why not just marry her?

For the record, my wife is better at math than me, is older than me, and beats me at Wii tennis, amongst other things. She does not have a small mouth, but I shall stop short of saying she has a big mouth.

He described my wife to a “t”.

Though I do not, unfortunately, know what he means by worry-belly. Hooch-chaser I know.
