The big news coming out of first grade today was that JJ broke up with B (not my B but another B). B is my B's BFF- got that??? Has been since PreK. JJ is a boy that my B crushed on in PreK until she conceeded defeat to her BFF. My B decided marrying Jake in his backyard was acceptable & therefore BFF B got to keep JJ.
Following me?
Okay, so after two years of loving BFF B, JJ told her today AT the Valentine's Day party that he was, "Broking up" with her. To quote my B, "They broked up!". B tells me this whole story about how sad BFF B is (still following me?) and then stops as a smile starts to light up her whole face. "Wait, I really thought JJ was cute in preschool. Maybe he broked up with her cause he likes me better!"
I stopped dead. Then actually had THE talk, with my SIX year old about how you never, ever, ever, never date (or whatever it is at her age) your best friends'... whatever it is at age 6. We had a nice chat about friendship and loyalty. A talk that I never thought I'd be having with a six year old. To ease my mind my B informed me of every couple (sort of) existing in all three of the first grade classes.
Somehow it was just little comfort to know that this kind of conversation must be happening a lot.
