Check Yes or No

It started way back in third grade.
I used to sit beside Emily.
Had on a pink dress, a matching bow, and her pony tail. She kissed me on the school bus, but told me not to tell.

Next day I chased her round the playground.
Across the monkey bars, to the merry-go-round.
And Emily got caught passing me a note.
Before the teacher took it, I read what she wrote.

Do you love me, do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do,
well then don't be afraid to take me by the hand If you want to.
I think this is how love goes,
check yes or no.
(Check Yes or No by George Strait)

And so it begins.
The doorbell rang a few minutes ago and little Miss Emily from across the street had this note for Nick.
Initially, he wrote in “kinda”.
But given the strong influence of his sister,
He begrudgingly changed it to “Yes”.

Poor kid…
He’ll never be allowed to choose his own wife.
Not while Jordie’s around!
