Yesterday, my nephew got his first "Yes, No, or Maybe," note from a girl. Without the maybe. This girl doesn't have time for waivering!
He is in the FIRST grade! The note (I deleted nephew's name):
My response (verbatim): "This little girl in first grade, too? Her fast ass! I bet her parents don't know. And you done circled "yes"? Your mannish butt. Y'all too grown!"This little girl is sharp, y'all, which is why I hope she puts her energy into something other than gaining a boyfriend! How do I know that? Let's look at the note:
1. Aside from some punctuation and capitalization issues, this is pretty well-written for a child in the 2nd month of first grade. Trust me.
2. On her illustration, the little girl has eyelashes. I know kids pick up on that on cartoons and dolls and such (eyelashes = girl) but to pick up on it then express it yourself? I don't see that too often with 6-year-olds.
3. The little girl also has a thought bubble! Apparently those thoughts are focused on love, but still.
I really do wonder what her parents would think.

That's too cute! I think I actually wrote my first I- like-you-do-you-like-me note in the first grade. I can't remember that far back... But I think I did. LOL! Ahhh, the youth...
Gwyneth,
He's all proud, too. My sister is away this weekend and he asked me, "You gon' tell my mama about it? Read it to her."
I remember the first day of first grade, surveying the class, realizing that top on my to-do list needed to be, getting a boyfriend in this class.
It had not been an issue in kindergarten, but in first grade, it was. I don't know how I knew.
See, I was so late to this! In third grade, I got asked to "go with" a guy, and I responded, "Go where?"
