Me: Josh who is this a picture of?
Josh: That’s me. (points to the boy in the middle)
And those are 2 girls who are in love with me because I’m so popular.
Me: Oh.
Funny? Yes. But at the same time I want him to know popularity isn’t everything! I don’t want him to try to be friends with the wrong people!
Moms…any suggestions?
*Update: He’s 9! 🙂 Thanks for all the answers – keep ’em coming! 🙂 They are so appreciated!!
how old is he? and no I wouldn’t worry..the only reason I asked is b/c my 5 year old says things like that all the time..like I WUV GURLS! lol…We try to encourage saving the words LOVE for family and his future wife, but he’s quite independent! lol…just keep gently persuading him in the right direction..he’ll get there! 😉
Oh I could of wrote this post. That sounds like my son last year.. in grade 1 🙁 Sorry I have no advice.
I am not sure how old your son is but I wouldn’t be to concerned. Just be sure to talk about what the word “popular” means, explain that true friends like you regardless. Sounds like he just wants to be liked.
I was just thinking how old he is and then I saw you wrote it. How funny….yep you’re in trouble.

Cute story and picture, my daughter thought she had a boyfriend in first grade. Makes me wonder how their little minds work. Your son has great aspirations, if he believes it, it will be true right? Thanks for linking up with me for Bloggy Con – can’t wait to meet you there!
