Crushes

*Names have been changed to protect the innocent*

Earlier this week I overheard Noah and a girl from his class talking about another girl from his class, and they were talking about how Noah had a crush on her.

I brought it up with Noah at dinner, asking who the girl was. He told me that he had a crush on 'Jenny' from his class. We asked him, why do you have a crush on her? His answer? She's really mean. "Noah, do you know what a crush is?" "Uh, what's a crush?" "When you like a girl a lot and think you might fall in love with her." "Oh, then I don't have a crush on Jenny. I have a crush on 'Jessica.'" Aubrey then said, "Ooh, I know her, that's good. She's adorable."

Then, while we were circling the parking lot at WalMart earlier tonight, we drove past a Pontiac Solstice a couple of times. Noah shouted out, "Oh man, that car is HOT!" Tess asked, "What does that mean?" I said, "It means he thinks the car is stolen." "No Dad, it's hot, like when a girl is mean. You know, cruel? Crrruuueellll? You know, like when she has a fancy dress and a nice car?"

He's probably heard this song one too many times:

You can't make this stuff up.
