the crush

Our good friend Cheri Volk has four sons, but Ava is most familiar with her youngest, Christopher. She calls him Mr. Christopher (he's in high school) and he was a helper in her Sunday school class last year. Here's how our conversation on the way to church yesterday transpired...

Ava: Mom, when can we see Miss Cheri?

Me: Oh, yes! I need to email her back.

Ava: I didn't see her in the 4 year olds class last week.

Me: That's probably because her son got married that weekend, isn't that fun?

Ava: What? Not Mr. Christopher...

Me: No, it wasn't Mr. Christopher. It was another one of her grown up sons.

Ava: Oh, good...cause I want to keep him.
