ella_mennoMiddle Child (age 8, for those of you not keeping score at home) woke up early this morning, so he had some extra time on his hands before we had to leave for school.
He's usually pretty good about entertaining himself, so I thought nothing of it when he grabbed some paper and a pencil and scooted off to a corner to start writing.
He'd write something, look up from the paper, make a little "thinky-face," then write some more.
Once I got the other two kids ready, I made my way over to him. I kind of figured he was working on his Christmas Wish List, so I was hoping for ideas.
I take a peek over his shoulder, and see a list of names, like this:
BRIJIT
KALEE
ANJELA
KATHRIN
EMILY
"Okay," I says to myself. "Not his Christmas list, then..."
So I went ahead and asked him what the list was.
"Oh," he says, all casual non-chalance. "It's a list of all the girls at school who think I'm cute."
*dies*
(Should I mention that more than half of them are older than he is - matter of fact, two of them are sixth-graders??)
ETA: So am I the only one who can see second-grader!Dean doing this same thing?)
