The Conversation…

Do you like me?

Circle one… Yes or No.

Do you remember passing notes like this around in school?  I was never one to do this being the shy child I was nor was I the recipient  of a note like this… lol but I do remember this drama happening in class.

Now days it is different.  There is the internet… that is how kids communicate these days… through texting, Facebook, emails… etc.

Last night I could hear giggling, teasing and then the running of feet.  “Mommy, go on Max’s wall and see the conversation.”

The following has been posted with permission from Max… the other person’s name is changed to protect the tender hearted. This is the conversation on Max’s  wall:

This is the conversation Max is having on his chat now.
He comes into our room… “Mommy, tell me what to say?”

So as I am reading this, I explain to Max that girls are sensitive.  I told him that he must always be kind.

“Do you like her, Max?”

“Not like that. I’m only 11 years old.”

“Mommy, can’t I just tell her yes… I like her… since I won’t see her?”

Sanj cautions him… that if he does this, she will no doubt move back and then what?

My poor sweet Max.

Later… on chat, the conversation continues…

girl:  ok do like like me yes or no

Max:  Your a really good friend

Girl:  but i said yes or no do u like like me plz tell me then i  will tell u if i do ok

In bed… Sammy says,  “Max, just break her heart.”

Max replies, “Mommy said girls are really sensitive,so I can’t.”

Watching and listening to my boys figure girls out… priceless.
