The other day, son asked: "Mum, do we have the practise of having a Best Man in Indian weddings, like the Americans?"
"If you mean Hindu weddings, we don't. But even in India, Christians do" I said focussing on the traffic of our chaotic city.
"Oh thank God we don't have a Best Man!" he said, as I saw him relax in to the back seat of the car.
"Why?" I was now really curious!
"Because I won't know which of my friends to choose from as my Best Man. I have four best friends you know" he said matter-of-factly telling me the names of his four best friends in order of preference.
Then he quickly added, "Otherwise I would have to marry four times to give them (all) a chance..." chuckling to himself.
What a harrowing dilemma for a ten year old!!!
