I am SO not ready for this . . .

Okay, so this heading could apply to couple different things that are going on in my life right now (ie - Girl Scout Camp).

Unfortunately, that's not it.

No . . . the above heading has to do with my almost 10-yr-old daughter (Kid #2) and . . . BOYS!

A couple of months ago I wrote a post about seeing two male mallard ducks chasing after a female, well I think my girl has just become a mallard duck.

It's been horribly hot up here in Nor. CA. and my kids had been bugging me to go swimming. We have two community pools in our city, the one on the west side is quite small (and further away) but the one on our side of town is nice and large. Unfortunately all of the summer camps use it this time of year so it can be an absolute ZOO!

Anyway, I had noticed quite a few kids from our school at the pool. I recognized one of the boys from my daughter's class was there (Kid #1 is friends with him too) and he was hanging out with another boy who didn't go to our school, but who I vaguely recognized.

About 10 minutes into our time there, I'm noticing that these boys are watching her. Not glaring at her, but the very subtle I'm-looking-at-you-so-you-don't-know-I'm-looking -at-you-look.

Now I was a psychology major in college and very familiar with Freud's psycho-sexual stages of development. Technically . . . she still supposed to be in the latency stage! However it appears the boys are not.

And it's TOTALLY freaking me out!!!

Okay, I know I can't get too weirded out because I'd had crushes starting in Kindergarden so I know Freud isn't right about everyone . . .

But this is still weirding me out!

And like I said before, I'm NOT ready for this!!!
