As many of you may know, Spaceman started school this year. She seems to be enjoying it even though it is making her pretty tired. I'm not enjoying it for one reason: Jack. I've never met this little guy but I hear about him all the time. Apparently he saw Kayla on the playground during the first week of school and immediately started chasing her. Now she enjoys chasing him. In fact, it is her favorite part of school. It seems that even though they are in different classes they have gym class together. He bonked her on the head with a baton during a relay and everyone laughed. Not me. It got so bad that when I was urging Kayla to get a haircut (it gets super tangly) she looked at me and whined, "but then Jack won't recognize me". Perfect. Lets buzz it all off then.
I thought I would have at least 5 more years before I started hearing about boys. When I was in first grade I remember some girls having crushes on boys and I thought it was weird. I'm pretty sure I still wanted to marry my dog Mopey at that age. Mopey died, so I settled for Kristen. Speaking of Kristen, Kayla did tell Kristen that some boys and girls wanted to be boyfriend and girlfriend but she thought that was silly because they were just kids. So it seems like Jack is just a fun friend to run around with. But if you think I'm gonna stay on the sidelines much longer if these stories keep coming home then you don't know jack. Or me.
