Ohhh the laments of a seven year old boy!
There is a little girl in Liam's class that has a crush on him. They've been in the same class for the past 2 years. Klara likes to leave him little notes, usually covered in cutesy red hearts.
Now Liam has always had both girls and boys as friends. He's happy playing with dolls and Littlest Pet Shop toys and he's happy using those same toys to mount an infantry attack against his Star Wars characters. What can I say, some boy things seem to be ingrained.
7 year old girls are all about being giggly, gawking at boys and playing pretend wedding. 7 year old boys all run in horror! The idea of a girl liking them, or wanting to be their girlfriend is just too much. And don't even bother trying to explain that one day they are going to want this attention!
After a day full of unwanted adulation from Klara, Liam had had enough. He grumped about it the whole way home. When he stopped and declared "I HATE Klara" I knew that I had to say something. HATE is not an acceptable word in our house, at least not when used towards people. You can hate war, you can hate injustices but you cannot hate someone. So we stopped on a cold sidewalk, in the near dark to talk about this. He agreed that HATE may be too strong, but he really, really, really did not like Klara!
His school uses a great method of discipline to help kids work through problems between them. Anyone involved in some sort of tiff with another student has to go to the resource room and write the offended student a letter of apology. So while Klara did not hear Liam say he hated her, I figured it would help the seriousness sink in if he had to write her a letter.
Needless to say, he was horrified! In his mind writing anything to Klara may as well have been his declaration of undying love*. He huffed and puffed and sobbed his way through the letter, finally declaring "I can't believe I'm writing this for a girl!
* I did not give Klara the letter. I figured it was just better for everyone!

Hah hah hah!
Perhaps, a call to the teacher is in order though to try and get little Klara to calm down a bit?
HAHAHAHAHA! Awww poor Liam! Klara sure knows what she wants, doesn't she?
*HUGS*
Ok that was too cute. My little boy is two so I have a few more years before that icky girl "Stuff" lol.
I remember attacking this boy with adulations at a beach trip once. He was horrified! I think I was about 7. I remember I kissed a balloon and then told him "not to touch it!" So he did.
Then I said, "I kissed that!"
Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww!!! Cuties!
Lol.
