Last night, Jackson had his school friend Haley over for playtime and dinner. This is his special friend, a girl, if you catch my drift. So, we're eating dinner, and Julie is telling me this story about some funny things that Emily said about not wanting to have a baby when she grows up ("I'll just get one at that place" - she means an orphanage). And how she doesn't want to live by herself, and that she'll just live with Jackson.
And Jackson pipes up, now live at the dinner table, that Emily will have to sleep in her own bed in her own room, because Haley & he would be sleeping in the same bed. Everyone giggles, and no one is sure what to say next, stealing quick glances at the girl to see if she's gonna bawl or punch him or what. But she is giggling herself.
Somebody says something about getting married, and i josh well, you better be married. Jackson says that the person he wants to marry will be... and he pauses, and i'm expecting some adjective describing the type of girl he wants to marry, like funny or must love video games, but instead he closes his sentence with a pronoun... you, as he gestures toward his friend. She giggles again, "ha ha, you said you wanted to marry me."
Julie may remember more details, or better details, but it was a pretty funny episode.
