Me: So, Izy... do you like any of the girls in your class?
Izy: (quickly glances at his sister) Oliv EE UH!! STOP!!
Olivia: (smirking) What?
Me: It's okay Izaak. You are aloud to like girls.
Izy: Well, there is a girl in class that is nice looking.
Me: Aww!! Izy!!! You think she's cute? Is she nice too? Do you like her because she funny?
Izy: Well... No, she's just good looking.
Me: Oh.
Izy: Yeah, she'll probably come up to me someday. Probably during math time. She'll probably come up behind me and try to kiss me. Definitely by third grade!
Olivia: Hahahaha!!!!
Me: Oh stop. You think Harry Potter is cute.
Izy: DEFINITELY in high school. Yeah.
Izzy's approach is laudable! Sometimes it's OK to feel strongly both ways on an issue--especially if the event is in the future!
