DISQUS

I have 2 boys and let me tell you...I am not ready for this! Last week I was hanging out in my 7 year old's room. He was cleaning up so I decided to lay on his bed and chat with him. I felt something hard under his pillow and found he'd stashed some things beneath it. He became very nervous and was trying to keep me from picking the pillow up. At first it seemed the usual; pencil, paper, tornado books...you know, kid stuff! Well, as I am asking him to put all of it in his desk I find a bunch of crumpled up magazine pages. By this point he is ready to cry and I was like, what's up, guy? I then notice that he has been taking my Newport-News magazines and carefully tearing out the women. I could see he was extremely embarrassed...as was I. My heart sank as he began to weep into his pillow. All I could do was say that it's OK, you are a boy. I asked him to please throw the magazine pieces into the trash, (which, he was more than willing to do) and that was about the end of it. I slowly walked away as he went back to picking up his room. As I entered the living room I began to cry. "Is he at that age already?? This can't be??!!" My husband looked at me as though I had lost my mind. I proceeded to burst into laughter as I tell my husband the details of what I had just found in our sons bed. He couldn't say a word. After a few minutes of pondering he looks at me and says, "That's how old I was when I had my first crush." I was relieved yet, at the same time I couldn't fathom just when my little guy became, not so little anymore!
So, to answer the question...I don't know yet! I will let you know in a few years...hopefully.
