Mom: Hmmm... ok, you can tell me at bedtime. Whatever.
Johnathan: (Giggle) Richie* told me something today! Something you won't believe! (Giggle, giggle)
Mom: Really??? What???
Johnathan: He was at the park and they had those binoculars and he put 50 cents in and looked and he saw.... (Giggle).... I'll tell you the rest later.
Roxann poking her head in from the other room: What is this I'm hearing? Saw what?
Johnathan: I can't tell in front of Ati. It was too shocking! I'll tell mom in the other room.
We depart for the living room and Johnathan proceeds to tell me that Richie was peeking through the binoculars and saw Bobbie* and Susie* by the lake. And low and behold Bobbie KISSED Susie!!!!
Mom: What???
Johnathan: I know, right!?! Can you believe it? (Giggle, giggle, giggle)
I am returned to the dining room and Johnathan hauls Roxann of to share the juicy gossip. I hear "whisper, whisper, whisper" and then "NO! WHAT? EWWWW!!!!"
But wait, there's more. Bobbie is reportedly going to carve a heart in a tree with the lovebirds initials!
I asked Johnathan if this is giving him any ideas about kissing a girl.
His response. "What? Are you crazy??? No!"
*Names have been changed to preserve privacy. And because I don't want any calls from Bobby or Susie's mothers.
