Well, he started 3rd grade today...

[Fred the Bunny]

I got him dressed, spiked the hair, fed him cereal, gave him his lunch money and his backpack.....

As I dropped him off, he turns to me and says...

"Hope there's some hot chicks in my class this year."
Then he takes off running into the school before I can say a word.


NO!!!

No Girlfriends at 9!

No.

Grades & sports...no women.

I'm serious. No.

Ugh...I had this problem with him last year. He had the same little girlfriend all year long and then they broke up because he called her "a control freak". This means that she was trying to tell him who he could and couldn't be friends with.

Good to know that my 9 year old has a good grasp on things.
I should take a few lessons from him.

[Nomad Broncofan]

WOW! School started already! My sons start the 23rd.

Anyway, I promote being interested in girls but my sons (10 and 9) only care about football and baseball. I've noticed this summer a little flirting going on between some of the girls in the neighbor and my sons. I tell them the more you pick on a girl the more you like them and their response is "no way." It's fun watching the kids grow up!

[SeeingRed]

I'm sorry, but that is friggin hilarious!

I'm not sure which is more a sign of how much has changed in the 20 odd years since I was that age:

The fact that he likes girls, or the fact that the girls like boys!

[Kapaibro]

an 8 year old control freak!

[Q-niverse]

an 8 year old control freak!

It's when she is a 21 year old control freak that you don't want your son dating her...

True enough, still with Fred at his back, methinks a control freak maybe in for a battle!

I always had girlfriends as a little kid and I was born in 1980.

Things haven't changed.

Although I might have been the exception. I never understood that "not liking girls" attitude when I was a kid.

...I hear ya!.. Thats is totally cute though! Its amazing how social they become so young. Last year my daughter was in 1st grade and already was getting love letters...her dad intercepted one..and she heard it.. She is not allowed to get another one until shes 30 he told her! She believes that too..

Good luck on the 3rd grade ...it will all be ok

[saltybuggah]

maybe he's into science

but thinking their hot you better make sure on this one
before hes off raiding chicken coops

[xX-Bronco-Xx]

Whatever the hell happened to Pokemon and gameboys?

It's pretty funny how young kids are now and are interested in the opposite sex. I didn't really start like girls till I was like 11.

[Fred the Bunny]

Mostly my fault & the fault of my guy friends.

They coach him in a bad way I guess, lol.

I think that comment was coached by one of my buddies to get a rise out of mommy.

He does that well.

I grew up around boys...and it's all I know really. Not until the past few years have I felt comfortable enough to be friends with women.

Women don't like other women...I wonder why that is.

I'm a control freak...so I know how to spot them, lol...even if it is a little 8 year old. She told him he had to buy her presents & I even caught him giving her lunch money!

Yeah, we ended it right then and there after a talk. I didn't pressure him, but allowed him a little more insight about what he should and shouldn't be doing at this age, lol.

[Dream]

Sounds like me when I was that age. Playground pimp.

[Snk16]

Play on playa...play on.
