Crush

[clevermanka]

There are two profs in our department who have the most amazingly beautiful children in the world, and one of them (the son) has a crush on me.

I love it.

He's about, oh, three (?) and is absolutely darling. Personable, friendly, and doesn't use baby-talk (I strongly suspect the influence of English Professor Parents here).

Yesterday, as I was leaving the theater (X-Men. Good.), I saw him, his sister, and his mom in the lobby. He was crying. I walked over and asked what was wrong. Their movie was sold out.

"Oh, that's too bad, G---, that really stinks."

*sniffle* "Uh-huh."

"So what are you going to do instead?"

*looks at Mom* "I don't know."

"Well, I'm sure you all will find something else fun to do and the rest of your day will be better."

At this point Mom laughed and said "Oh, I'm sure now that he's seen you, the rest of the day will be just fine."

This morning, I heard them coming down the hall. I looked in the doorway, and he stood and smiled at me, that cute kid shy smile/look away/look back thing.

Mom said, "We came in the building and he asked if we could come see you before we went to my office. When I said yes, he yelled out 'YAAAAAAAAAY!'"

The prettiest little boy in the world has a crush on me and I think that's absolutely charming.

Oh, so that's who you were talking to. My heart went out to the poor little mites with their sold out movie.

You'll be pleased to hear they made it to a later showing and everything had a happy ending, as I predicted.

Oh, and this will melt you. They just now left, and G--- asked me "Remember yesterday when you tried to make me feel better at the movie?"

I said, "Yes, I do remember. Did it work?"

He stuck his face in his dad's shoulder and I heard a muffled "Yes."

Awwwww!

Awwwwwwww! (seriously missing at 'too darn cute' icon)

Perv! =D

This little guy is just about the cutest kid ever. If I'd known it was possible for kids to be that cute and funny and smart, I might have actually had one.

Guess it's a good thing nobody told me, eh?

OMG...

Awwww... cute, cute!

Reminds me of the little guy who had a crush on me when I was QE; adorable little fella. He wouldn't sleep in anything else other than the blue faire tee-shirt that had the drawing of my face as queen on it. I always said I was gonna grow up and marry him and he'd just beam.

He's the grandson of the couple who used to run the pub where we did the after-hours drinking. And gods, he's growing up!

A friend of mine has two daughters. One's six, the other's three. The older one came up to me one day and said, "I'm going to marry you!" And then the little one said, "I'm going to marry you, too!"

To which I said, "You can't both marry me -- at least, not in this country."

Long pause.

Then the older one turns to her sister, "You can be his wife and I'll be his girlfriend. The girlfriend is always prettier, that's why. Okay?" And the younger one clapped, bellowed, "YES!" and ran away shouting, "Daddy! Daddy! I'm gonna marry professormass!"

Cuteness abounds.

Oh, that dad's gonna have great fun in ten years, isn't he? OMG, that poor younger sister. I hope she keeps the good attitude. Or the obliviousness. Ha!

awwww. that's so great.

I watched it happen,
the interchange in the theater lobby was so cute!

I think kids like me because I talk to them as if they were grown-ups. Why bother talking down to them? It just seems insulting to everyone involved.

[adammaker.livejournal.com]

That makes sense to me!

There is great responsibility in being someone's first love. I'm glad it's you! You will take it seriously, I know.

This is actually my second crushing little boy. The other one, so I hear, carried a torch for me well into his teens. Awww.
