On Monday nights, I help out in my daughter's Christian Education class at church. Basically, I sit at a table with a bunch of 5th graders and try to keep them on task. I have discovered that there is a very wide range of maturity levels at that age.
Last Monday night, several of the kids that were there early were talking about things like dating, rumors about friends kissing, and how they were breaking up with their boyfriends/girlfriends.
Needless to say, my head exploded. And I proceeded to cover my ears and scream "I can't hear you! I can't hear you!" for the rest of the night.
I'll keep my daughter right where she is (asking for Barbies for Christmas, and watching Disney Jr. before school) as long as I can.
When she's 40, we'll talk about dating.
