Another one from my 4YO from yesterday. Last Sunday morning after church, my 4YO's Sunday School teacher, who is a friend of mine, says "dude, your son is a little player. He was trying to hug and kiss on Annalee all morning. We had to make him stop." He's never done that before, not a huge deal, but that afternoon, I casually told him that was something for grown-ups to do and that he didn't need to kiss girls at church. I asked him if he understood . . . he said he did and quickly changed the subject.
This little girl is in his preschool class - also at church - and this is the conversation that took place at the coloring table according to my son's teacher.
Boy: "Annalee, my dad said we can't kiss anymore....that's for grownups."
Annalee:
. . . .
Boy: "Are you listening to me?"
Annalee:
. . . .
Boy: "Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Annalee: uh-huh
. . . .
Pretty sure he tried to tell her verbatim what I told him.
