I just felt like adding this little "experience" (though not really much of an experience) I had tonight at the dinner table that went something like this...
[Denise & Kendall = my two younger twin sisters, age 14 (grade 9)]
Denise: mommy, i have a boyfriend. [our mom doesn't let us date 'til we're 16]
mom: ah, okay... who?
Denise: Adam.
mom: what grade?
Denise: eleven.
mom: aaaah. not good.
Kendall: [bites fist to keep from laughing/freaking out over what she has to disclose next]
mom: I'd like to meet him, then we'll see.
Kendall: I have one, too!
mom: who?
Kendall: eric
mom: what grade?
Kendall: .....
mom: don't tell me he's in grade 12.
Kendall: .... he's really nice! he plays football and he's a sweetie!
mom: I have a boyfriend, too!
Kendall & Denise: really, who?!
mom: *doesn't disclose but yes she does indeed have one*
me: I HAVE A BOYFRIEND TOOOOO!
Kendall, Denise, mom: no you don't.
mom: blah blah blah well I've decided it's okay since one of my ex husbands was 15 years older than me.
Kendall: meaning... you were born when he was in grade 10.
me: *gets up from table* I'VE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND! I'VE NEVER HAD A BOYFRIEND! *runs around the house 4 times chanting*
this actually happened, it's kind of driving me bonkers. I also have another sister living in montreal whose last relationship lasted 1½ years.
HEY, if it counts, I went on a friend-date. a guy took me to the movies. Only, as a friend. and the movie was free because it's the theatre he works at. And I don't really like him but he has an obvious crush on me. That would make him the first i think hahah. <--- giggles of madness
