Goosey has had a little boy who has been her admirer for the last couple of years. Noah has really had stars in his eyes for her and has written her notes, brought her rocks from home and trinkets here and there. Her "boyfriend" even pitched enough of a fit that his mother asked him to be moved to her class at the beginning of the year.
Goosey has always been nice to this little boy who seems to have trouble making friends. She played with him and invited him to her birthday last year. However, she decided that it was time to break it off...
One day coming home from school, Goosey told me that she needed advice on how to "successful breakup" with her boyfriend without being mean and ugly...because her efforts were being ignored by Noah. He was still writing notes and wanting play with her without including anyone else. I gave the sage advice on how to be direct and tell him that she no longer wants to be his girlfriend and that any notes, trinkets, etc. will be ignore or returned.
The next day, I inquired as to how things were going with Noah. She informed me that she had a successful breakup and that Noah was OK. She said that he told her "You can't breakup with me! You told me that you would be my girlfriend forever!!" To which she replied: "Forever? I'm only seven...and forever is a long time, Noah."
Ahhhh, young love.
