CRUSHES

either i was totally out of the loop

or first grade has really

changed over the years.

there seems to be a lot

of little crushes going around.

here's a few that gave us a chuckle.

hudson is at school
a girl asks the teacher if she
can be hudson's partner.

a nearby boy says,

"hudson, she loves you!"

the girl replies indignantly,

"i do not!"

then she leans over to hudson and whispers loudly,

"i actually do!"

(after hearing this, boon said,

"it makes sense. hudson is pretty irresistible.")

hudson tells me that one of the girls in his class

 has a crush on him.

"how do you know?"

i ask.

"because she told me",

he replies.

hudson came home with

a little stuffed monkey

named coco.

a girl in his class said

coco wanted to stay with him

for the week.

the next day, another girl

sent him home with

one of her treasures.

hudson tells me,

"mom, guess what xyz girl

gave me and i didn't even want it."

"what?" i ask.

"a my little pony," he tells me

in this deadpan voice

complete with an eyeroll

to beat all eyerolls.

"and i couldn't even give it back to her because

she went home early!"

i asked him why he thinks

she gave it to him to borrow.

he said,

"i know why. she said it was because

her my little pony is awesome

and so am i."

my oh my!
