Growing Up

So Mom is reading grandson (9 years old) one of the last books in the series on Harry Potter tonight, and it is the book where everyone is starting to have crushes on everyone else...and there is lots of mistletoe and kissing.
Grandson stopped her reading and asked a question about the mistletoe and then another question about who was kissing whom.

Mom began to explain and then said, " ...but you probably don't like to hear about all this kissing,"

Grandson says, "actually, I don't really mind it"...."I am not one of those people that gets all uncomfortable when there is kissing."

  10. Cute story. I don't recall being especially uncomfortable with kissing when I was that age, but I must have been. I watched "Leave It To Beaver", and The Beav thought girls were icky, so I must have thought so, too.

  12. He sounds very pragmatic and mature about life and sensitive topics. Very rare indeed. So refreshing when we mostly see kids that age making off color remarks to hide their embarrassment.

    Kudos to all who helped in raising him!
