Ok I coach Tiny's, privates, and summer camp so I spend a lot of time with kids.
I have two girls Gracie and Audrey (2 years older) who are sisters. I was talking to them after practice one night and Gracie was telling me about her boyfriend. According to her, they are going to get married, but she wants to wait until at least kindergarten. Her older sister is having a thing with his older brother but "it's not that serious yet." She says she's just not ready for that kind of commitment.
During camp last summer, back when that Ke$ha song Take it Off was popular, the kids were having an argument about whether there was glitter, or litter on the floor. (The actual lyric is: There's a place I know if you're looking for a show, where they go hard core and there's glitter on the floor, and they turn me on when they take it off....) I told them there was glitter on the floor. "But Miss Lauren, why is there glitter on the floor? Where are they?" I had to tell them the song was about New Year's Eve and the glitter was like confetti.
Our last comp was at the beach and one little girl ran up and told me she was staying at a hotel with a pool...AND and ocean! The same kid once had to miss practice for an out of town wedding. Me:Who's getting married? Lila: My Auntie Kate. Me: Oh, where does she live? Lila: At Auntie Kate's house...Duh
One night I bought my boyfriend to the gym. Some older elementary aged tumble kids had some important questions: Is that your husband? (Im in HS) No we're just dating. Oh my god, do you love him? Yes I do, very much. OH MY GOD HAVE YOU KISSED HIM?!?! Yes. This was just too much for these girls. Love pshh, kissing was the be all end all
But by far my favorite. We were in butterfly one day and flapping our arms pretending to fly. I asked one girl Ella where she wanted to fly to and she told me she was going to church. I asked her if she liked going to church. She told me yes, but that her parents didn't go to church, so she only got to go with her grandma.
Ella: Sometimes these people come to our door and they try to give us papers ad say that we should go to church. But my mommy doesn't like them, so now when they come...we hide.
