1st Grade Romance

My seven year old came home yesterday with a curious new bobble around her neck.  It was some kind of blown glass ornament on a string. The conversation went something like this.

Me: Where did you get that beautiful new bling?

7 Year Old: Mom, its a necklace.

Me: Ok, where is it from?

7 year old: Jake

Me: WOW thats intense, are you his girlfriend.

7 year old (furious): NO Mom, he just likes me ok, ugh.

Fast forward to 7:00 that evening. I was in the bathroom, when she came in and locked the door.

Me: What? What are you doing?

7 year old: I have a secret and you'll tell it.

Me: No I won't. Maybe I'll blog about it, but I totally won't tell your Dad.

7 year old: OK, because I don't have a boyfriend.

Me: Ok

Then she whipped out a little notebook turned the page and handed it to me to read. There in little first grade scrawl was the words:

I LOVE JAKE.

Then as quickly as she came in she ran out.

So sad. She is already tangled in loves cruel web. 

So that prompts today's question: Do you remember your first crush? What was their name?

My first crush was named Abe Moss. He played soccer and had nice hair.

Your turn.
