Una grande decisione

A Big Decision

Un bambino di sei anni un giorno va da suo padre e annuncia, "Papà, vorrei sposarmi."

A six-year-old boy walks up to his father one day and announces, "Daddy, I'd like to get married."

Suo padre risponde esitante, "Certo, figliolo, hai in mente qualcuno di speciale?"

His father replies hesitantly, "Sure, son, do you have anyone special in mind?"

"Sì", risponde il bambino. "Voglio sposare la nonna."

"Yes", answered the boy. "I want to marry Grandma."

"Ehi, aspetta un minuto", dice il padre. "Non penserai che io ti lasci sposare mia madre, vero?"

"Now, wait a minute", says his father. "You don't think I'd let you get married with my mother, do you?"

"Perché no?", chiede il bambino. "Tu hai sposato la mia."

"Why not?", the boy asked. "You married mine."
