Too Many Men...Too Little Time

It's tough being 5.....in a class with only 3 girls......
5歳って大変ね。特に１４人のクラスに女の子３人しかいないときね。

Weechan has been betrothed to her first love H from Onomichi, since they were 3. It has been a given, since she ever discovered about princes, that H was hers. He danced with her princess costumed self when all the other boys in her life ran for the train set. When he said "ね、結婚しようよ"(let's get married), she didn't even have to think twice.

Weechanは３歳の頃から初恋のHくんと婚約をしている。プリンスと言うものの存在を意識してから、HくんはWeechanのプリンスだと当たり前ことだった。だって、プリンセスWeechanと踊ってくれたのはHだけだった。他の男の子は皆すぐプラレールの所に逃げた。だからHくんが「ね、結婚しようよ」と言った時、迷わずに「YES!」と返事した。

Since we left Onomichi a year ago to come back to Hiroshima, I frequently get worried e-mails from H's mum, assuming, having read this blog, and seen all the other boys who cross her path, that Weechan will have forgotten all about H, but in the face of it all she has always said to the Hiroshima boys: "I like you, but I'm going to marry H!"
尾道を出て広島に戻ってから１年が経つけど、時々Hのママから心配のメールが届く。このブログを見て、Weechanが他のプリンスをたくさん見つけて、Hのことを忘れているじゃないか？とのことだけど、今まで毎度「ごめんね。あなたのことも好きだけど、私はHくんと結婚するよ！」で他の彼氏を断ってきている。

However, the other morning she announced she was going to marry A from her class instead. The worrying logic being that, N (her wee friend who is leaving, bringing us down to 2 girls in the class!) loves A the best, but now that she is going to Hawaii, she can't marry him, can she?!
(Perhaps a chat about "THE RULES" of female friendship is order soon....). When asked :"What about H?", indecision flitted across her small face, then resolve, and the verdict: "A".
二三日前のこと。いきなりクラスのAくんと結婚することを発表。「えっ、どうして？」と言ったら：「だってNちゃんはAのこと大好きだけど、彼女はもうハワイに行っちゃうから、Aと結婚できないでしょうね。」その理屈はかんぺきでしょうね。「Hくんは？HくんとAくんは、どちがいい？」と聞くと真剣に考えるWeechan. 結論：「A」だった。

I feel for the poor H, who doesn't know his fate yet, unless his Mum is reading this, but when Daddy quizzed her last night at the dinner table, as to which of the 2 she really preferred, she looked truly exasperated, and retorted "Well what am I supposed to do? They all want to marry me. No, really! Every day if I choose a boy to marry, they all shout "No, pick me! Pick me!" I can't marry all of them...."

このブログを読んでいなければ、運命が分からないHくんが可愛そうけど、昨日夕食の時にDaddyに「HくんよりAくんが本当にいいの？」と聞かれたら、ため息をして、本当にあきれた言い方で「どうしようかな？だって、皆は私のことが好きでしょう？だれかと結婚しようと言ったら、皆「僕だよ！僕だよ！僕だよ！」と言うから、しようがないさ。皆と結婚できないよ。」と困った顔で答える。

Long may she have this problem... She's already had more romantic proposals than her mother!
贅沢の悩みがずっと続くように、とMummyの願い。もう５歳で、母親よりロマンティックなプロポーズを受けているの！
