Christopher lately has been intent on picking my brain about my early love life, wanting to know details like how old I was when I first had a boyfriend (not until high school - you'd understand if you knew the boys in my class...), did anyone like me at school (Bruce Valentine), did I kiss him (No!)and how did I handle it? (Ignoring it...)
Hmmm... Some questioning on my part confirmed that yes, my gorgeous-natured, long blonde-haired, olive-skinned little nine-year-old boy is indeed getting chased by the girls. On Valentine's Day he was bombarded with cards and items, much to his embarrassment. Did he like those girls too? Well no, not like that... And just last weekend he went to his first night-time party, for a girl's 10th birthday. Far out. Is it just me, or are things moving younger and younger nowadays? My girlfriend, who has a son several years older, assures me that girls are way more aggressive now than back in our days (and we're not even sitting on some porch somewhere with canes and rocking chairs!)
Well, it turns out that I may have contributed to this epidemic. Check this out:
In case you can't decipher a seven year old's writing, this is what it says: 'Love Luke, so romantic, I so love Luke G, he is the sweetest.'
All that's missing is the 'Love from Alexandra' sign-off. So this was the hot topic at a family birthday gathering last night. Grandma managed to establish that Luke G reciprocated Alexandra's sentiments. He also, unfortunately, seems to be in love with Alexandra's friend Georgia. Cousin Michael's advice was to tell Luke G that it's over. Grandma advised Alexandra that it would simply not do: tell Luke G that he needs to choose between her and Georgia. Alexandra thought about it for a moment, then said:
'I can't see the problem. He can just have a wife and a girlfriend.' Hey, lucky guy, Luke!
