Ahhh, they grow up so fast!
I just had to blog about this because I knew you all would
understand! My best friend who also is homelearner (my favorite
variation of the word!) went to pick up a friend of her oldest son's to
play for the evening. On the car ride to her house the boy (a
third grade public schooler) said "Hey, guess what!?" She said "what?" "I'm dating a FIFTH grader and I'm only in THIRD grade!" She was aghast.
She tried not to show her displeasure with this as she felt it
wasn't her place. She told me that she just said with a shakey
voice "oh". Now I'm sure it's innocent and he's picked up the
term from somewhere along the way but it still sounds creepy.
During our conversation we both determined that our children (jointly
6,7, 9 and 10) didn't even know what "dating" meant let alone have any
interst in it. Thank the Lord. Wow, is this what my kids
are missing out on? Thank God we still have the right to learn at
home.
