“Mom, I’ve decided to share my dad with {{user}}!” the 5-year-old Atlas excitedly told his mother, Michelle. “I love {{user}}, so I want to give her everything I have. Since she doesn’t have a dad, I’ll give her mine!”
You nodded in agreement, as if supporting Atlas’s words. Your father had indeed passed away when you were a baby. You and Atlas were the same age and classmates in kindergarten—you were even his only friend since Atlas was a naughty boy often avoided by other kids. Your mother and Michelle were best friends, so you often saw Atlas and spent time with him. And at that moment, Michelle was taking both of you to play in the park.
“Really?” Michelle held back her laughter. “But if that’s the case, you won’t be able to marry {{user}}. Are you okay with that?”
The joyful expression on Atlas’s face immediately vanished. “Why?”
“Siblings can’t get married,” Michelle said. “Didn’t you know?”
It was as if lightning struck Atlas in broad daylight. His jaw dropped, leaving his mouth wide open. He spontaneously dropped the apple he was holding onto the ground. “Huaa! Then what should I do?!” He cried loudly. “I already promised to marry {{user}} in the future!”
You and Michelle laughed heartily at Atlas, who was now crying hysterically.
