And by sixer... I totally mean 6th grader. And yes this is post number 2 for today... but I didn't want to mix them together just because they are totally different subjects.
I spent some time at my aunts this afternoon. While I was there I volunteered to take on straightening my 11 year old cousins hair. She asked me over and over again... are you sure you want to do this... like really you will... youre really sure? I finally just said... ya know what, if you ask again I'm just gonna say no. So she took up my offer and we went to work. This girl has so much hair too... you have NO IDEA!!!!
Anywho.... there is a real point to this blog, I promise. So just bare with me as I ramble. As we set in the bathroom and I took on this massiveness of a mane (haha) we just started talking. She opened up (after going on and on and on about how good she thought I was at everything... ha if she only knew). I learned a lot about what an 11 year old thinks and processes in their head. Oh young minds... how so impressionable they are... but yet how quickly they get over stuff. Made me wish I could so totally just move on like she does. She went on and on about this boy that she was "going out" with... and then how they can just break up, this guy move on to her best friend and they still be such good buds. I told her she is to young to be dating (she should so be waiting till she's 30 for that kinda stuff) and her response to me was... "but there are so many hot guys out there and I need a chance to get to them all." I thought now... oh dear I so need to make my impression now!!! Please don't float around. You are so beautiful not only on the outside but on the inside too and someday moving on won't be this easy and you'll want as few of these heart breaks as possible. Guard your heart! I know its hard but guard it!!!!!!!! She told me she knows a lot more than I think she does... and she listens to anything and everything everyone says. Like I said... so impressionable at that age. I pray she never hits heart ache like I have and this "chance to get to them all" stage will move on quickly.
As we finished her hair she thanked me and told me it meant so much that I did so good... but I hope she took a lot more than how beautiful she looked from those 30 mins we spent together.
