Houston, we have a problem

(confidential post, not to be discussed with Lucas....play dumb)

I know that at some point boys and girls start to explore the world of "Boyfriend/Girldfriend", but at age 6? Here is what I found in Lucas's back pack after catching some hints from Gracie that there was a little love in the air. I will translate for those of you who don't understand first grader penmanship and spelling.

"Dear Courtney- Right when saw you at the meet and greet I just loved you and I don't know how to tell you this But I'm your boyfriend. I've loved you from the start you really opened up a new world to me. Love Luke you boyfriend."

What would you do? Rip it up? Let him take it to school and enter the world of love? I decided to let him play his game and learn for himself. I did alert the teacher there was an incoming letter that could create some drama. I have to say that my gut was to tell him he was too young and freak out....breathe in....

The outcome....Lucas reported today that Courtney declined his boyfriend demand and said she is not old enough. (I like her already) He seems ok with it and I'm sure will get his game back soon and try again. As for me we will be invoking a blackout on all 'tweener' shows in hopes to curb his desire to find a mate.
