Dinner conversation tonight:
Rachel, out of the blue: "I broke up with my boyfriend today." she said, totally nonchalant like it was part of every day conversation.
Daddy snapped his head over toward her and I know I did a double take!
Me and Daddy: "WHAT?!"
Rachel: "I broke up with Jonathan today."
Me, as Daddy stares at her like she's just grown three horns out of her head: "What do you mean you 'broke up' with your boyfriend?"
Rachel: "I broke up with Jonathan because he wasn't listening to me when I was talking to him."
Me: "What does a boyfriend or girlfriend mean?"
Rachel: "You know. You play on the playground together and you do your stuff together."
Mike, steam coming out of his ears: "What STUFF?!" he said, with nary a crack of a smile on his face.
Me: "Do you mean like stuff in class together?"
Rachel: "Yeah, like homework and centers and stuff. But, actually, he was talking to another girl and not talking to me, so I broke up with him."
Me - TOTALLY DYING trying not to laugh: "Well, you can be friends with boys but you're not to have a "boyfriend" or to be anyone's "girlfriend". That's just for big people, ok? But you can still be friends with boys and that's ok."
Rachel: "Ok."
Lord, help us. My mom says I'm paying for my raising. I'm pretty sure it was in Kindergarten when I had my first crush and I had that same crush all the way through 6th grade. Then I went to prom with him my 10th grade year. He was a senior. Dream come true, right? It was the yuckiest night EVER. Gross!! What in the heck was I thinking when I was in Kindergarten?! :)

Me - 3rd grade so maybe I'll catch a break when I have kids.
You are too funny.
Oh my word! That is too funny!
I too had a kindergarten crush. He was a twin and his sister was in the other kindergarten class. I can't remember his name but I can still see his little face and all the blonde hair.
