Today one of my kids brought birthday party invitations in for the whole class. The party is going to be a swimming party at the YWCA. To say the kids were excited is putting it mildly. I overheard two boys talking….
“do you know what you’re going to get her?”
“Nah my mom will get her some girl thing.”
“You are going, right?”
“well – ah – yea are you kidding me? The girls will be in bikinis.”
(I really couldn’t believe they were talking like this. They were acting like they had chest hair.)
“Yea, hey I’ll be your wingman, okay?”
“You can be mine if I can be yours.”  At this point they had their arms around each other’s shoulders and were walking over to their cubbies.

I may have to break my no birthday party rule and go to this one. (Hey if you go to one you are kinda obligated to go to them all. You certainly don’t want to play favorites.) I would love to see how 5 year old wingmen act.
