Ten going on twenty-six
My son and I had a conversation in the car yesterday about starting a new school in the fall. Here is an excerpt from said conversation. You know, not the part about academic structure and education and learning, but... rather... the important part.
About girls.
me: so, are you excited to start your new school in August?
my son: Yeah. I hope there are some hot girls there.
me: *pause* *pause*
::thinks to self- girls have cooties until they are about 26, dont they??::
my son: Too bad Gabbi doesn't go to [insert school name here]
me: You know, this is a smaller school than what you're used to. Have you asked *Logan about whether there are hot girls who go there?
my son: Yeah. I asked him. He said there were a few, but that there were going to be a lot more this next year.
me: Why would that be so?
my son: ::he says nodding with a sly grin on his face:: It's called fifth grade.
*Logan is his friend who has attended this school for a few years now
Thank goodness, my daughter is still pretty sure that boys are gross.
And they are. Gross. If girls have cooties until they are 26... boys are gross until they are like 81.
