Dating Advice--from Seth

This boy has a good head on his shoulders. I heard this quality evidenced again in a recent conversation he had with some 2nd grade friends. They were talking about girlfriends, and, of all things, EX-girlfriends. One of Seth's friends has had BOTH varieties. There was a little bit of drama attached to this girlfriend situation. Apparently, the girlfriend threatened to punch Seth's friend if he said the word "love". (I'm not sure what the 2nd grade definition of girlfriend is...it should be interesting to probe Seth's mind about that topic.) Anyways, one of the kids' moms expressed shock that a second grader could have a girlfriend already. Seth was shocked too. He chimed in, "Yeah, you don't want to have a girlfriend until you are in college. It's way too complicated."

Wow. I need to cultivate and nurture that perspective, don't I?!
