My eldest daughter, aged 11 shared a secret with me in the car today which led me to this post! It's top-secret but her 11 year old classmate apparently has a crush on this other 11 year old but they are shy, giggly and dewy- eyed and everything. Another bestie too has an admirer. But she feels sorry for her bestie as the poor boy aparently has mop hair. What's that? You know mum, the kind like you you have put a bowl on it? What about you?
No, mummy, no one is interested in me, and I'm not interested in any of the boys. They are so childish anyway. Remember I told you they rolled on the dance floor at prom and licked coke off the floor? Even in their mini-tuxes? Yes, no matter how smart they looked, they didn't act smart, so I am not into anyone of them. Alright then. Why, sweetie?
Well, first I have no time. I have dance lessons twice week, Enopi Math sessions, Mandarin, piano, Sunday school and now I have that role in the Drama production plus I am on the student council. I really don't have time, mum. Plus I have all that homework. So I say to her, well, you can always tell me about it if you like a boy, okay?
Okay, but the chances are slim. Besides, Mum, no one has the kind of energy you have! So, don't worry. I'm still your baby.
Phew...
