Yes, Spring is in the air.
I had the following conversation with K. at the breakfast table not more than 5 minutes ago.
Me: "You're looking particularly handsome today, son." (He really was, and I try to notice these things.)
K: "Hmmm."
Me: "Any reason?"
K: "Well, Matt asked Chabeli if she wanted to go out with me yesterday."
Me: Raised eyebrows...
K: "Just like, to hang out with me at recess."
Me: "And you call that 'going out?'"
K: "Yeah, but she said no, 'cause she's still getting over someone."
FIFTH GRADERS, FOLKS.
Of course, in fifth grade, I was 'going' with Kurt Englund. And that meant we never hung out at recess, but rather, stood around talking to our friends about who we were going with. Heck, I don't think we even spoke to each other. I do remember feeling particularly heartbroken when he broke up with me.
And so goes the circle of life.
Twitterpated, indeed.

Oh my gosh. Your son is so open and forthright with you about girls... we have girls "stalking" Jared (walking by the house looking) - but he gives no indication that he knows they are alive... he does msn a few though, but claims he has never spoken to them in school. He is going to the spring dance tonight with his buddies though - and refuses to say whether he will dance or not...it is his first dance and he is so cryptic - I can't wait for Kez to get to this stage...she will rattle on and on - a mother's dream. Hey, don't you think it is funny that I call girls stalkers when we was the stalkers, but it was just liking someone....funny days.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome that he will just tell you what's happening like that. Mine is about to turn 14 (ugh-how old am I??) and he will tell me, but it takes a little prodding.
ReplyDeleteOur only stalker just moved a couple of weeks ago so it may be a slow summer...*LOL*...not that I'm complaining.
M~
oMgoodness! I cant even imagine this kinda of conversation from a 5th grader... I am so scared of those days ahead!
