OMG!

Banks and old college buddy posted this on Facebook today. Make sure you watch until 1/2 way through when his buddy has to jump out of the way! Good God!

Diary of a Kindergartener

So yesterday, as we're outside playing after supper, Devlyn offers up that two girls in his class say they're his girlfriend and he doesn't like it.  And he launches right into it just like that.  No intro, no warning, no additional information...just a twitterpated stupid grin on his face and a 1/2 embarassed, ridiculous stance to match.  Oh, and some silly noises to go along with it.
I managed to drag a few more details out of him - that they blow him kisses on the playground and which two girls it was.  It was hilarious and shocking all at once.  A) I was NOT expecting this in kindergarten and B) it was hysterical to watch him work through all the different things he was feeling about it.  He was a little mad about it.  He was trying to temper his excitement about telling me while also exhibiting a healthy dose of embarassment mixed with a side of dopey lovestruck.  All in all, after I got over the loss of innocence quality to it - it became my new favorite parental moment.

Tonight, Devlyn was in the bathroom while I was working in the kitchen.  He peered out at me with a similar look and "can you believe this" hand gestures and simply said, "Again with the girlfriend stuff."  That he boils something down like that into five words, like an older, sarcastic, witty kid might, just cracks me up.  He is so funny and he's growing up so fast.....unbelievable.
