The engagement is off

My youngest daughter was engaged, until recently. Yes, Abbey, the six-year-old. She had announced the engagement after church a few months ago. She had her friends, and some of their parents, meeting with her in the Sunday School room, with each one informing the next that she wished to speak with them privately. She was explaining that she would be marrying Karel once she turned 18. She had asked Karel's father for his blessing (since she couldn't convince Karel to approach my husband), and he had given it with that one caveat.

But it appears that the engagement is off. Abbey has been disappointed lately in the lack of attention she's been getting from her fiance ("He ignores me.") And this morning I learned that Karel had told his mother that he didn't like her anymore because "she farted". Mom had tried to defend Abbey, ("well, you fart, too"), but he was inconvinced. ("That's different. I'm a boy".)

So, we'll see.
