singular-plural disagreement

The Jonas brothers are so close they even plan to share a wife. At least that’s the message implied in a recent post on their MySpace page.

Asked if they’d ever date a fan, the brothers wrote: “Yes, we have already dated fans or girls that are not celebrities. In fact, we really like to believe that the girl we will spend our lives with will be our biggest ‘fan.’”

The Jonas boys may be musically inclined, but they don’t excel at math. We’ve got three boys, hence, the plural nouns “we” and “our lives,” and one wife, “the girl.”

Parting ways off stage to date and marry independently appears to be out of the question; looks like they’re turning to polyandry. That’s just the way they roll.
