no boys!

today, my soon-to-be-in-9th grade, boy-crazy girl told me that she wrote a long list of goals she wants to achieve in high school. i asked her what her goals were, expecting her to say something like, getting straight-A's. but, this boy-crazy girl yelled, "no boys!!" hahahhaa!!! the conversation went something like this:

girl: i wrote a very long list of goals for high school in my diary.

me: oh, what are some of your goals?

girl: NO BOYS!!

me: hahahaha!!! do you mean not dating or not liking boys?

girl: well, i can't date until i'm 18 years old. so, i guess i mean that i don't want to like boys.

me: hahahhaa, that might be a bit hard for you since you've liked so many of them!

girl: hehehehe, yea it's going be really hard. but you know what? you shouldn't start liking a guy without getting know him.

me: yes!!! exactly!!

girl: YEA! don't like a guy without getting to know him!!

me: hahaha OK!! :)

hehehe, she reminded me of a very valuable lesson today. i hope she listens to her own wise words... but i'm pretty sure once high school starts, i'm going to hear many stories about her new crushes, hahahaha~
