Apparently, Big J is a little Mack Daddy. At 12, he already looks like at least a freshman in high school, 5′7″ tall, with broad shoulders and a very handsome face. Apparently, 7th and 8th grade girls love this look. It doesn’t matter that he’s socially inept most of the time, the girls adore him.
In the past week alone, I have found no less than three notes from three different girls in his pants when I put them in the washer. Hey, they’re fair game…I’ve told him repeatedly to check his pockets before the pants go into the laundry basket. I always give them back to him, and remind him again to check the pockets as soon as he takes them off. I never go snooping in his room, and don’t plan to.
All of these notes have included some variation of the question “do you like me?”. Luckily, they seem pretty harmless, but it is still worrisome. When I ask him about them, he says, “Mom, (insert eye roll here) THEY like ME! I can’t help it!” To which I reply, “Well, honey, that’s okay, but you don’t want to cause fights or anything.” Was that a twinkle in his eye? Surely not. Do they make chastity belts for boys?
Yep they do, but it involves pictures of their mother which is kinda creepy. I love that graphic. lol You are so screwed. heh heh
I’m terrified!!! The really scary thing is that I think Little J is going to be the ladies man!
Not to sound like a nag here, but think about the “going through the room” scenario. If he were truly in trouble, your spidey-sense would be going off big time. You might just find something that could help you to help him.
Caveat: I don’t advocate doing this on a regular basis!!! Just as a “holy crap my kid might be in trouble” clause.
