The trip today should be... interesting. #1 invited the younger sister of his best friend (who coincidentally is also #2’s best friend). This younger sister is also the object of affection for #2. We have let him know that there will be no dating or such with girls with more than a year difference in age. This girl just barely fits into that category. She is only one year younger than him, but she is two grades behind him.
I suspect the trip today will be a noisy one. With the kids having fun together while watching movies, and of course moon eyes shot back and forth between at least two of the kids. #1 won’t admit to having such feelings for this young lady, but I notice that whenever he can’t hang out with her brother, he is hanging out with her.
Let the soap opera that is teenaged life begin.
