"Mommy how do you make love?"

"Whaaaa???!!!!"

"How do you make love? What comes after the 'o'?"

"O?!!!"

"Yeah, l..o..."

"Ohhh," Huge sigh of relief, "you mean how do you WRITE love?"

"Yeah." Duh, Mommy.

"L-o-v-e." Pause as I turned to peer at her. "Why?"

"I'm writing a note to Tony."

It reads: Tony Analise Love *heart* Frienb(d)s. I like your shoes and shirt.

She told me she had a boyfriend the other day. A kid named Cole. Cole apparently couldn't see the board the first day of school and came the next day with glasses. Cole is FUNNY and just sooooo cute. As much as the kid sighed and giggled over him, I had to put a quick stop to their budding love affair. I informed her she was too young for all of that nonsense and she had to go to school and tell Cole that.

Later at dinner, my dad and Super Mom cracked up because Samantha apparently has a paramour as well, who last year was her cousin's boyfriend. She's in second grade and Super Mom thought it was CUTE and FUNNY.

Am I being too strict here?

Question of the day: Who/when was the first boy/girl you liked?
