Samuel likes Natalia, the girl who sits next to him in class. He told me the other day how she is so pretty that he can't think straight and that sometimes he has a hard time concentrating on his work. Then he showed me that day's assignment - he had colored it red so Natalia would like it.
I didn't realize that kind of behavior started so young.
And then there is Benjamin. First of all, Benjamin is always lamenting about how he doesn't know who to marry. "That's OK," I assure him, "you probably won't meet her for another 10 - 20 years." Then he calms down. He doesn't usually talk about individual girls, though.
Today he came home from school talking about how much fun he had in gym class. They were playing tag, and he was the tagger. He had fun because he kept tagging the same 2 girls. Why did he keep tagging those girls?
"Oh Mom, they are both as beautiful as each other." Then he gave me a happy, smug smile.
Oh boy. Not him, too.
