Drama Mamas
I just found the following note on the floor after a sixth grade class (the names are changed to “protect the innocent”):
Dear Bobby,
I wish I didn’t have to say this, well you & Susie are still going out, which means you have 2 girl friends. I’m so sorry I love you so much. You and Susie have gone out longer. I really want to go out but we can’t, I’m sorry I have to do this no matter how bad it hurts me. I love you with all my heart.
Love ♥♥♥♥
Sally
Man … these 11-year-olds have more romantic drama in their lives than I do. And I can’t figure out if that’s funny or sad!
