"....?!"

Conversation last night about 5 minutes prior to arriving at a baptism:

Quinn (7yo): Mom, why can't I have a girlfriend?
Me doing an impersonation of a fish.
Rhys: 'Cause Quinn already has a girlfriend.
Me: You do? Who's your girlfriend?
Quinn: Isabelle.
Rhys: Yeah, they even held hands in the hallways for an entire day.
Me, looking at Robert, still doing my fish impersonation.

I guess all our conversations about "dating" haven't quite covered it.

Don't worry about it. By the time he's nine, he'll think girls are gross.
I should mention that my daughter was engaged three times before she started kindergarten.

Jill - thanks for the reassurance. I never thought I'd hope for the "girls are yucky" stage to kick in. I'm a little nervous though because I never thought boys were yucky. And, this is the boy who was kissing girls (on the cheek, happily) in preschool. Yikes.

Mia - feeling the love. Just you wait!
