But we might fall in looove!

Okay, so posting this online is the sort of thing that will get me in serious trouble when the boys start showing serious interest in girls. Well, more serious than what they show now... Ok, I guess that's not saying much Anyway, it's also the sort of thing that will have lovely blackmail points for when they start showing serious interest in girls...

hee hee hee

That warning/disclaimer/teaser out of the way, I can now relate to you the following conversation which was overheard by a mom friend of mine. My son (who will remain nameless in order to ensure equal opportunity privacy or blackmail, depending on how you look at it) was a little late for class. When Doodle Bug arrived, he was greeted so enthusiastically by his friends, one in particular, that he blurted out, "That's enough! Any more and I will just fall in looove with you! And I am WAY too young to fall in love!"

Hilarity aside, I love how they are so free to show how much they care for each other. My son consistently greets his friends with hugs and kisses, proclamations of love, and other joyous exclamations. If I were a bit more effusive with my feelings, I wonder what the response would be? Maybe I should let people know more often how much I appreciate them, miss them, love them, or what have you. Maybe I should do it without the full bodied invasion of personal space that seems to go over in my son's world though.

Any one who has been near a four year old knows exactly what I mean.
