I said to both, "What would you think if "friend" was more than a friend? Like what would you think if he was my boyfriend?"
Buggy says, "Do you like him like more than a friend, mom?"
"Yes, I do honey."
"Why?" She asked.
"He makes me laugh and he's kind." I responded.
"MOOOOMMMMM, does *he* know you like him?"
I wanted to respond with, "yes, I passed him a note in the hall."
"Yes, he knows I like him Buggy. He likes me too."
"Cool" was all she had to say.
Bubba's was a shrug followed by his request for what he'd like for dinner.
So bottom line, they like him, they like his kids, so we're golden. I assured them that we weren't moving in together or doing anything crazy like getting married...so that's it.
All that worrying, all that analyzing, for naught. Kids, they are pretty resilient. Us adults, well, we take more time.
Isn't that always the way! Glad it was virtually a non-event. Now get on with the relationship building, where ever that might lead!

Figures.
ReplyDeleteLOL Perfect. Kids. Can't figure them or men out:)
ReplyDeleteGlad to know you all are just one big happy family !
ReplyDeleteSo happy it went well for you! That's the first hurdle!
ReplyDeleteSo glad the kids are ok with it..... that will make things easier.
ReplyDeleteYeah, sometimes we don't give kids enough credit. For the most part they just want their parents to be happy.
ReplyDeleteYou know, unless they're little evil shits.
lol...Im happy that they didnt freak out on you. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for. My girls amaze me all the time.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree, we way over think things don't we. I am so glad that it went that smoothly! You have a great set of kids. And what a priceless answer of what he wanted for dinner.
ReplyDelete:)
talking helps, much better to tell them now then for them to find out without telling. I suspect that's the part that helped the most
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it was easy. hee hee... you *like* him!
ReplyDeletei liked your wanna be answer about passing him a note in the hall. you so should have said that!
ReplyDeletei'm glad they're ok...it gives me hope.
That is great. I figured that they would not freak out about it. Kids are resilient.
ReplyDeleteWell, if you didn't worry about it they would have freaked and then you would have felt guilty, so I am glad this is the way it went!
