I'm Gonna Marry You!

I put on some songs during dinner and Violet and I got up from the table to dance a bit.

For the next song I put on Coldplay's "Yellow," and I told Violet, "This song is about a color.  Can you tell me what color it is?"

I expected Violet to give me that "duh, that's too easy" face, but instead a few verses in she enthusiastically told me, "Yellow!"

"That's right," I said and picked her up to dance.

"No, don't pick me up.  I want to marry you," she told me.

"Um, OK," I said.  I knelt down to face her, figuring we'd be having a mock ceremony.

"No.  I need you to stand up so I can marry you," she said patiently.

I did as she asked and she took my hands.  We spun in a ring-around-the-rosie-type circle while "Yellow" played.  It was fun.

I learned two things.  First, according to Violet, marrying is spinning around in a circle with someone.  Second, Violet seems to immune to dizziness.  She can spin forever.
