I was volunteering with FG’s class on Wednesday and was assigned 6 children to work with on an Urban Landscape project using recycled material. Yeah, I know, I’m so much better helping with reading or math. Creativity is not a strong suit for me. As we’re working on the project, this conversation transpired:
Boy: “So, do you have a boyfriend?”
FG: “Uh, no.”
Boy: “Well, I’m already eight and I’m not ‘taken’ yet.”
FG: “You do know that’s my mom standing right there, don’t you?”
Boy: Wide-eyed and silent.

I agree with Kathy. I am constantly surprised at what kids are doing “these days.” I’m only 26, but when I think back to my pre-teens and teen years, I feel like I was more like Marcia Brady than any of the kids today! Lol…

It is surprising and scary what kids think at this age. Sam is pretty quiet when it comes to boyfriends. I will ask her discreetly about it and she just shrugs her shoulders. She either has none or knows better not to mention it around me. I prefer the first. Alexis on the other is another story 🙂
