Last night's conversation over dinner . . .
Carson: Mom, do you know some kids in my class have crushes?
Me: What does that mean when you have a crush?
Carson: It means you love them so bad.
Spencer: I have that kind of soda.
Carson: (rolling his eyes) We're not talking about that Spencer.
Spencer: (With a little mischievousness and complete honesty) I crush Jamison!
We then proceed with a whole conversation about how old you have to be to have a girl friend and I find myself campaigning for group dating, just being friends and a whole lot of "after your mission".
Carson: Do you have a crush on anyone mom?
Me: Yes
Carson: (wide eyed and very giggly) WHO?
Me: Can't you guess?
Carson: (SO giggly now) No, tell me!
Me: Dad
Both boys are dying of laughter and threaten to tell Nick when he gets home from work. Of course I play along and beg them not to tell because I'll be so embarrassed! Just then Nick comes home.
Carson: Guess what Dad? Mom has a crush on you!
Nick: Oh yeah well, I have a crush on mom.
And now they've both lost it and are in a fit of laughter.
