Niranjana, Melissa and Andy

Niranjana plays soccer at preschool. I'm told that she's often the only girl playing soccer on the playground with the boys, and that she holds her own. Seems that skill is earning her a special place in the hearts of these young Beckhams.

Leif is our dear friend. His mother reported recently that Leif said he wants to marry Niranjana. Frankly, I'm OK with this.

Jonathan is another friend. Not as close as Leif, but we know his parents and see them occasionally. He recently announced that he also wants to marry Niranjana. I'm open to this young man.

Then there's Ken, Niranjana's "best buddy" in her classroom. He's a little younger, but seems to be from good stock. A little subdued for my taste, always colors within the lines, but he might grow out of that. He hasn't said he wants to marry Niranjana, but if he knew that was an option, I suspect he'd throw his name in the hat.

So I asked Niranjana, which boy do you want to marry?

"I haven't met him yet," she replied.

Smart girl!!! Plus she knows the rule is she has to graduate from college before she gets married.

Sorry guys, our little soccer star is going to play the field.
