I call my best friend crying; “I don’t want to want to get married and have babies with him!”

She laughs.

“Of course you do, and he wants it too.”

  1. I love that this can go either way. Either she's in the right and needs to end it, or she's just being silly.
    Came from the Trifecta link.

  4. Thank goodness her friend smoothed her mind. Would have been a huge fork in the road! Over from Trifecta.

  6. Awwwwwww.

    Um, is it bad that I told my sister the opposite thing the week before her wedding? She was angry at me for years, partly because I wasn't wrong just, she thought, too late.

    They're still together and it seems to have worked out.

    Great story. Obviously I can relate.

  7. Thanks for linking up to this weekend's challenge. I love the depth of your story, carried out through such simple sentences. There are lots of different ways to interpret this, but my favorite is that the bride was right. People get so nuts about weddings, it's easy to see friends or family members push an unwilling bride down the aisle. Nicely done. Hope you'll come back on Monday for our weekday prompt.
