Big Kid and Mr. Ashley were in the other room when I heard, "Dad? A girl in my class fell in love with me 'cuz I was wearing a black and white shirt. Is that possible?"
"Anything's possible with girls!" Mr. Ashley answered, "That sounds about right."
"Who fell in love with you?" I shouted from the bedroom.
He appeared in my door way. "Ava. She just really likes black and white shirts, I guess."
"And what do you think about that?" I asked, inwardly cringing because Ava is NOT future daughter-in-law material. She is one of the few who doesn't give a crap about her time tests and is really not Big Kid's type.
He took a moment to ponder that. "I think it's...strange? To love someone for their shirt? And now do I keep wearin' that shirt or stop wearin' that shirt? I just don't know."
"Well, you do look really good in that shirt."
"Yeah...I don't understand how girls fall in love though."
And you never will, I wanted to answer.
But I'll let him discover that mystery for himself.

that is awesome! My big kid is in 2nd grade too and he is just discovering the drama of girls liking boys but thankfully he hasn't been involved-yet. He does, however talk about who broke up with whom on the bus etc and when I asked why the couple broke up, he said, "She just didn't love him anymore." **eyeroll**
Not daughter in law material lol
