Too Cool for Kisses?

Well, it took until 2nd grade, but Kaden finally admitted that he doesn't want to kiss me goodbye at school in front of his friends. It's too embarrassing. He didn't want to hurt my feelings, either, so he told me he would kiss me two times at home to make up for it. I can handle that; sounds like a good compromise to me.

It reminded me of when I was in about the 3rd grade when I was distraught over how to tell my mom that I didn't want to call her "mommy" anymore. I thought I was too grown up and should just refer to her as "mom." Funny what little kids think and worry about, huh?
