Today on the way to drop my children off to Mike's mom, Jersey was describing her class picture to me. She was telling me all about the kids and talking about two of the children that are no longer in her class. She was asking why they would still put them in her picture.
Then she starting talking about "going out" (SHOCKED) I ask her to repeat.
J: you know mom "going out"!
R: What does "going out" mean...(sounding like my mom)
J: "going out" means when you like a boy and you hang out and do stuff like play with toys and sit together.
R: hmm?
J: Drew and Mckenna are "going out" but they broke up
R: What? They broke up?
R: What does "broke up" mean?
J: Well Sadie told me that it's when you don't play with that person anymore. But Drew and Mckenna still do play with each other so I don't know if they are "broke up" that is just what I heard.
R: So do you like any boys in your class?
J: Boys are weird, mom!
When did this happen that we talk about "going out" in Kindergarten. I remember all the talk in first grade but in Kindergarten. I'm still in shock.
Finally when we get to Grandma's work Jersey shows the picture to her and retells the story. Liz proceeds to say "So Jersey who is your boyfriend?" (me, slapping my hand to my forehead, Jersey embarrassed to answer.) Thanks, Liz.
Can I lock her up for the next 18 years of her life? I don't know how I'm going to handle this school business or growing up for that matter.

OK, now I am terrified. Rylee is supposed to be starting Kindergarten in the fall. Homeschool is sounding better all the time. Yeah, boys still had cooties until at least third grade as far as I recall!
Wow what I have to look forward too! I am also amazed they call it the same thing. I can see know being a parent that how my parents really did understand and know everything. I remember thinking my parents were so ole and didn't know anything.
kindergarten? ack! i remember such talk in jr. high. except to me, it meant a boy and a girl liking each other... but not talking to each other. :)
