grant: "mama, i'm going to marry julia [a girl in his class]. we already have the names picked out. jefferson if it's a boy and leia if it's a girl. julia picked out leia and i picked out jefferson. aren't those good names, mom?"
a few days later, in the car...
grant: "mama, you know i'm going to marry julia, right?"
paige: "...and me? you marry julia and me, right grant?"
grant: "no, i'm only marrying julia. it's against the law for brothers and sisters to get married."
me: "that's right, grant. brothers and sisters aren't really supposed to get married."
paige, in full panic mental breakdown freakout mode: "but i want to marry grantie!!!!! i marry grantie, right mama?!?!?! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! i love grantie! i marry grantie! WAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
me, throwing a knowing look at grant: "yes, paige. okay. you can marry grantie."
grant, slowly understanding the stakes: "noooooooooo...well......okay. we can get married, paigey."
paige, sobbing: "otay. thanks grantie."
