Young Love

* after school on the walk home *

Mom: Hey buddy, how was school today?

Brady: Good.

Mom: What's one thing you learned today? * I ask Brady this every day after school *

Brady: Nothing, we had a substitute teacher today.

Mom: Did anything good happen at school today?

Brady: Well, Ayla said that she was happy that I've worn my new Habs hat to school every day this week!

Mom: That was nice of her.  Is she your girlfriend?

Brady: Noooooooooo!

Mom: You sure?

Brady: No.

Mom: Why aren't you sure if she's your girlfriend or not?

Brady: Well, she likes me.  She said so.

Mom: Do you like her?

Brady: I don't know.

Mom: Well, she's a nice girl - she's very smart & pretty cute too.

Brady: And she's a Habs fan & she said she wore her Habs shirt to my birthday party just for me!

* long pause *

Brady: Okay, yes.  She's my girlfriend.  I'll let her know at school tomorrow.
