im too sexy...the pre - pubescent version

G is the ripe old age of 10 now. 10 was a funny age when I was a kid - you know, in the olden days. But I think it's even stranger now. At least half the girls in G 's class are wearing bras. Now while I was 28 before I needed s bra, I realize that's not nor has it ever been the norm. LOL. But I also don't think many girls were rocking bras when I was in 5th grade. I shudder at the thought of whet age precocious puberty appears now! But I digress... While the girls are growing...the boys are short. And they view girls as classmates but generally gross. Usually. G told me right at the start of the school year that a few boys were starting to think girls were cute. When I asked him if he was one of them, he did the blushing eye blink heroes when hes trying to lie. He mentioned a very tall girl - M - as a girl he thought was "nice " but then dropped it. I wasn't going to force the issue. Then last weekend he wad hanging out with our neighbor's younger daughter C. C and G, along with the other neighborhood girls, have been friends since they were babies. C's older sister is 12 and doesn't hang with G and C as much now so C and G have gotten closer. G came bounding in the house for a check-in without C and said to me "Mom I hope C wears the shirt she has on today again soon...she looks sexy." What?!?!? Wait. WHAT?!? I asked him what sect meant to him (kid is verbally gifted - I know damnable well he knows what it means) and he stammered and said "well really really cute! Not gross sexy!" I reminded him that sexy was never ever a good way to describe a 10 yr old and then sent him on his way, noting that the days of G and C playing in one of their rooms alone for hours is nearly over. Shit. I'm so not ready for this.
