So my brother, who is in the 4th grade, has a full blown crush on this African girl in his class. He proclaims his love for her daily. Apparently, she's the smartest, sweetest and "hottest" girl he has ever known. (In his full ten years of life). I checked the class picture and baby bro has good taste.
Here's his dilemma, he knows she likes him because, as he puts it, she smiles at him, but "the problem is" when he tries to sit next to her, she runs.
Me: ((laughing)) Joshua, maybe if you stop acting like a weirdo, she wont run from you. I bet you act silly like you do at home.
Josh: No I don't!! I don't act like that around her. ((gazing))
Me: ((sighing as I prepare to put my bro on to how the game goes)) Leave her alone for a day or two. Don't acknowledge her existence.
Josh: Y???
Me: She'll start to miss the attention and she'll start wondering about you.
Josh: O... but you know what... If she started wanting to be around me all the time and doing what I do, I wouldn't like it
Me: erplexed Y Joshua???
Josh: Because I need my space. She would annoy me too much.
Me: (wallbash) So wait... you pursue her relentlessly until she gives in and the moment she starts to reciprocate you need your space!!??!!
Josh: What's relentlessly?
Me: ((calming down because I'm not really mad at this ten year old, I'm mad he didn't tell me this a year and a half ago!!!)) OK Josh, forget it.
Josh:: ((runs off to watch Spongebob just before the tears start to form in my eyes))
I just got schooled by a 10 yr old.
