Growing up is overrated

on By

I met a ten year old boy who has cologne but he says he keeps it in his drawer now.
I took the bait. “Why do you keep it in your drawer?”
Him “Well I was dating the prettiest girl in third grade until she gave me a list of books she wanted me to buy her at the scholastic book fair. I decided I’d wait to date.”
I had to stop what I was doing to give him a high-five. 😁❤

    This made me chuckle! Reminded me of my son’s first experience with the whole boyfriend/girlfriend thing in 4th grade….
