Annie's got a Boyfriend...

I picked Annie up from school today.

I asked her how her day was.

She said, "Mom, there's a boy in my class that has a crush on me."

I said, "Well, that's great. How did you find that out?"

She said, "He sits right by me."

And we found out later that he apparently drew a heart and then wrote her name inside it.

She paused for a minute and then said, "Mom, he's African."

I'm dying inside, but I say, "Do you mean he's black?"

She said, "I thought I was supposed to say African."

I said, "Well some people say African American, but it's OK to say he's black."

She thought about that for a second and then said, "Well, he's really nice."

I absolutely love this girl!

And I'm really glad she sits by such a nice boy.
