Friday 55 & Da Count-Young Love

FRIDAY 55

Carload of teens.
One boy shouts, "Let's hit Taco Bell!"
The driver is broke.
"I'll buy you a taco."
The driver winks at his girlfriend.
Exiting the drive-thru
he offers her half the taco.
"Dude, I bought the taco for you NOT her!"
"Get used to it, man. Anything I get I'm sharing with her."




DA COUNT

Calypso has a first boyfriend. There is one seriously twitterpated young lady at Chez Lime. It's really pretty adorable to watch. She's been infatuated before and there have been some young men who have been googoo eyed over her in the past but this is the first time there has been reciprocal twitterpation. The really lovely part though is that it's coming at a time when Calypso has been consistently making good choices and has shown a lot of maturity. Similarly, the young man seems to be a really kind and gentlemanly soul who exhibits his own good character in a number of ways, including but not limited to, being the kind of guy who doesn't think twice about sharing his taco with her when neither of them has money and someone else buys him one...and unashamedly defending his consideration when some bonehead gets on his case for it.

Ah, young love... 'twas grand when one could be twitterpated o'er half a taco. That sounds almost like the Bard himself, no? No.

Of course, marriage changes everything. If I turn my back on my plate, I find half of it gone. Apparently, to my wife, all food tastes better when taken from my plate. Neither do the calories count.

Awwwww. . . that's just uber-sweet. . .

I gotta tell ya, tho, high-school romances these days just scare the hell outta me. I danced on the edge of enough trouble in my own day, and such 'social constraints' as we had back then (which were already drastically diminished from what my parents had known; and even still, I was born out-o-wedlock, as they called it) are mostly gone by now. . .

But she's making good choices, so good for her. You'll wanna keep yer finger on that pulse, tho. . .

WordVer = 'oatelm'. . . suddenly, I'm craving fiber. . .

Must be something in the air this week. Many of my favorite bloggers are either writing about their own youth, or about the youths in their lives now. Anyway, good for her, and him, and you. Nothing like being in love when you're young and (relatively) unburdened.

How cute is that?

LR has a crush too with one of her 10th grade dance instructors....very cute...though, he's not really her BF............. just yet....

Sharing, it's such a telling thing about a person in so many ways.

I have to admit, it warms my soul when I watch my son gently brush his girlfriend's hair back into place or fetch her a soda. I hope this presages what sort of husband he'll be.

Sharing a taco is my kind of pda.

Lulda Casadaga said...

That is too cute. Good for him...I hope she keeps him around for a long time! I recently went to visit my cousin and met her son's girlfriend for the first time and it was so cute watching them ...Ah, young love!
