On January 14th, Taaru told me that she was getting married. I congratulated her. A few days later, she came to me.

Taaru: I can’t wait for January 14th next year.

Me: To celebrate your wedding anniversary?

Taaru: No, to get married.

Me: But Acha and Amma got married only once, and the next year onwards we have been celebrating our wedding anniversary, not getting married again.

Taaru: But I am marrying someone else next year. Every January 14th, I will get married.

Me (my eyes widening): To new people???

Taaru (exasperated by this point): Of course!!!

Taaru (making a mental note out loud): I need to find someone for next year. This is hard work!
