My former Mormon neighbors invited us over for dinner. They were a friendly family that, at that time, had two young sons. The youngest was 5. During the meal, the five-year-old starts talking about a five-year-old girl in his Mormon preschool who wants to be his wife!

Think about that, a five-year-old Mormon girl is trying to find a husband, and the five-year-old Mormon son is interested!

When I was 5, I had a 7-year-old bodyguard pacific islander girlfriend nicknamed NeeNee. About ten girls in my neighborhood used to flirt with me, telling me that I was cute, and some would run their hands in my hair. NeeNee put an end to all that until her family moved away.

I never remember talking about getting married until I was at least 9 or 10.
