Romance through the eyes of a 9-year-old
Feb 9, 2009
I definitely had a fun filled afternoon at babysitting. I watched as my 9-year-old and her friend giggled at two passing boys. I wanted to be in on the joke, so I grilled them.
Apparently, these 9-year-olds both have boyfriends. Yes, boyfriends. Did I mention that they are 9? I don't even have a boyfriend, and I'm 21! And what exactly do 9 year olds do in a relationship? Here's a brief overview:
Q: Do your parents know?
A: No.
Q: Do you hold hands?
A: No.
Q: Do you go on dates?
A: No.
Q: So what do you do?
A: Well, at family fun night, Sarah danced with her boyfriend.
Q: Was it a slow dance?
A: Yes.
Q: So are you going to make your boyfriend a Valentines day card?
A: Ewwwww no! Are you going to give skater boy (aka "A") a card?
In other 9-year-old news, one of the girls told me that Don't Mess with the Zohan is her favorite movie...after Twilight and Mama Mia. I found that highly disturbing.

Too cute! My little sister used to have a "boyfriend" when she was in preschool! He would bring her stickers and pink crayons! Ha
Bradley and that boy on the farm.
(sounds like a band...but do you remember?)
Parents don't know, don't hold hands, don't go on dates, and no V-Day cards. That's pretty much 80% of college relationships there. They're ahead of the game.
Hahaha that's amazing!
