On Monday afternoon, I picked Porter up from school and he announced to me that he had a girlfriend. The conversation went something like this:
Porter: "Mom, that girl with her hair down, hers my girlfriend."
Mom: "Really. What's your girlfriend's name?"
Porter: "Um....I don't know."
Mom. "Oh. Does she know she's your girlfriend?"
Porter: "Yeah, hers knows I'm her boyfriend. I waved at her and she waved back."
(Trying desperately not to laugh) Mom: "So, because she waved back that makes her your girlfriend?"
Porter: "Yeah. And when I kiss her....."
Mom bursts into laughter and interrupts that thought.
Porter: "MOM! What are you laughing at? I'm not a baby anymore. Sheesh."
Mom: "Have you kissed her, yet?"
Porter: "No. I will kiss her at a wedding."
Yes! The brainwashing is working! No dating until 21, no kissing until the wedding!
I had to remind Porter today that he needs to find out his girlfriend's name. That's usually a smart move. I also found out today, that Porter apparently bit her (and got into trouble at school for it) so that she would be his friend. Wow, buddy. Way to go! He's real smooth, that one.

just keep praying that he continues to bite until 21. That should hold the girls off for a while!
"Hers my girlfriend". CLASSIC. I love Porter. He is keepin' it real. And no kissing till the wedding? I wonder how you can enforce that one? Have you seen that show on TLC with the people who have 18 kids? They have that thing going on with their kids- no kissin' till the weddin'. But they hand-hold like wild maniacs. It made for a good laugh.
I have no illusions on the kissing thing. I figure the longer I can hold them off the better, though.
