The Love Contract

The Love Contract

A while back I was over at my new Sister in Laws house and I was sitting on the couch reading to a couple of her kids. We were snuggled up quite comfortably when all of the sudden one of them jumped and said “I’ll be right back”.

This one:

She came back with a piece of paper she had drawn on and asked me if I would sign it.

When she first gave it to me it read:

This states that Lee B___ loves Emily M___.

I don’t know if she was feeling a little bit insecure, or just suddenly decided she needed a written confirmation to make this official.

After a brief study of the wording 

(Always read the fine print!) 

I asked her if she was trying to trick me.

When she asked “why”, I said “This is looks kinda one sided.” So I asked her to add a clause.

Here is the final Love contract:

If the photo doesn’t show up well it reads:

Lee B____ loves Emily M___.

I love Lee B____.

(last names have been removed to protect the innocent...and guilty!)

We both signed it. 

Mine is a little sloppy because I was using my leg as a writing surface.

Why yes Emily, I do. I don’t know why you would have any doubts.

Have any kids touched your heart recently?
