The Ringleader came home bursting full of energy this afternoon. We began our usual banter.
“How was your day?” I asked.
“Good.”
“Anything exciting happen today?” I asked expecting a dull response.
“Oh yes! Guess who likes who?!”
“Who?” I asked with timidity.
“Well everybody likes C. and we think we just figured out who she likes! It’s D!! “
“Oh. Well how do you know that C. likes D?”
“Because it is obvious. C does not talk to D!!!”
“Hmm. So if you like someone, you don’t talk to someone? ” I asked perplexed.
“Yea. If you know them, but do not talk to them, then it is very obvious you like them.” he responded with expression.
“Of course. That makes sense.” I replied masking my smile.
“And then I found out today that R has a HUGE crush on B. But B doesn’t like R. He likes G. And G. likes B too.”
“And they don’t talk correct?”
“Oh no”. he said
“Well, what about you? Does anyone like you?”
“Why of course” he replied with innocent confidence “A, S, M and L all really like me.”
“Well,who do you like?” I asked my own lil’ Rico Suave.
“Well, I can’t tell you that. It’s top secret.”
“What does her name start with?”
“A letter” he replied coy.
“What color of hair does she have?”
“ A color” he replied smug.
“And does this mystery girl like you too?”
“Yes.”
“And you know that because…..?”
“Because we don’t talk to each other.” he interrupted.
“Of course. I forgot the “signs” “, I quickly added.
“And I think there is a girl on my bus that likes me. She just stares at me when she empties her tray at lunch. I’m just sitting by myself, so she is obviously looking at me. I look back at her and she quickly walks away".
“So does she ever talk to you?”
"Oh no!”
Catching on I said, “yep. She must like you.”
The 3rd grade gossip quickly led into why T. will never have a girlfriend until college. He apparently eats his boogies, licks his shoes and makes snow angels on the cafeteria floor.
He might be right about that.
And that is the scoop from the 3rd grade playground.
