We made some new friends at a party a few weeks ago. After a fun play date at the Araluen Playground (pronounced Air-a-loo-en) followed by grilled cheese sandwiches and some Scooby Doo at home; it was time for Dennis to go home.
Schatz (later that afternoon): Did you know that Dennis is my boyfriend? I'm going to marry him when I grow up.
Me: Okay. Well. You are not allowed to have any boyfriends until you are sixteen. So. You are going to have to break up with him and just be friends for now.
Schatz: I can't exactly break up with him, yet.
Me: Why not.
Schatz: Well, I haven't exactly told him that he's my boyfriend.
Me: Have you told him you are going to marry him or are you just going to spring it on him at the wedding?
Schatz: I don't know. Yet.

I love this!
ReplyDeleteIt's okay, Schatz ... I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend until I was 16, either. Believe it or not, I didn't even know he was my boyfriend until he introduced me to some of his Army buddies as his girlfriend! Later, when I said, "So, you introduced me as your girlfriend ...?" he oh-so-romantically replied, "Well, yeah ... I mean ... uh ... if that's okay with you." It all works out in the end. :)
