What's in a Name?

Kylie came home from camp today, flashing some awesome new silly bands.

Proudly, she proclaimed, "Mommy, look what my new boyfriend gave to me!"



Uhhhhh....boyfriend?



I asked, "You have a boyfriend now? When did that happen?"

"He's new, mommy. We just started dating." (She's eight. What does dating involve when you aren't even in the third grade?)

I was interested, so I dug a little deeper. "So what's his name?"

She shrugged. "I dunno. I haven't gotten his name yet."

Well, of course. Why would she?

At least she got the silly bands.

she doesn't even know his name? not even a fake name like an online dude might use?
i'm so glad my girl doesn't like boys yet. i'm not quite ready to deal with such things.

...as long as she's not saying such things when she's in her 20's...

Lol! My 7YO has had a boy who was in love with her for the last two years. He's been known to call our house 13 times a day and show up at our house bearing gifts on hr birthday! Cracks me up!
