I called Jake into the room to see what was up (oh gosh, already!) and if he had a "girlfriend" or what was the deal!
He assured me that he did not WANT a girlfriend, it was just hugs, and gave the right amount of disgust on his face under his under laying secret grin of approval.
Matthew pipes in with his theory then which totally cracked me up !
He said " Yeah, when Jake turn Fifteen, the girls will KISS him, and then the girls will HUG ME!!
And then for him to process that the leftovers will hug him, and that he will be old enough for the hugs by that time is too funny!
How in the world an eight year old mind works is beyond me! :)
