The other night before Jem's spring program, my mom came over for dinner. As we were sitting around the table, Jem started talking about his program and how everyone should come. He invited my mom. She told him that she would love to come and then asked him if he would introduce her to his girlfriend. Jem immediately replied, in a very serious manner, "Gaga, I don't have a girlfriend. I have a boyfriend." Mom and I busted out laughing.
Girlfriends aren't something that we talk about. We don't ask our boys which girls they think are pretty. Even after finding out from the teacher that Truett has a budding romance, we still don't talk to him about her. We figure there will be plenty of time for that stuff when they are older. So his comment was just a reminder of how innocent he is and how I hope that he can stay that way for a long time.
