She didn’t do it.
Mason was too scared to deliver the heart-shaped box of chocolates to the Casanova of fourth grade.
After school she collapsed in sobs in my arms.
In the end, the fear of rejection had been too great.
So now, poor Hugo may never see the little smile in her heart just for him. His letter is unopened and Granddad ate his chocolates.
Still, I get to keep Mason a little girl for a wee bit longer. As she cried I told her, “If it helps you can imagine giving half the pain to me and I’ll carry it for you.” She sniffled, “I love you, Mommy,” and blew her nose on my sleeve.
Another heart broken by St. Valentine and Hugo.
“Mason was too sacred…” typo, or Freudian slip?
Let’s blame it on Freud! Thank you, Justin!
It’s all for the best & I hope you weren’t wearing cashmere mum
It’s been a long time since I could wear cashmere!
I don’t want to click on “Like” because I’m sorry Mason’s plan didn’t workout. There’s food for thought and learning in these experiences of life. She had a huge success this year with her question for Mr. Hitchens. The stakes may have been higher in this situation! She will overcome.
aaaah. Poor Girl. I remember that first crush. I was 8, he was the star of the school concert. My best friend was going to tell him that I liked him, and then I got too scared and hid behind a rubbish bin on the playground.. Oh bitter sweet romance.
So far my 5 year old is still blissfully unaware. There is a boy in her school who keeps giving her feathers, and is very friendly towards me and her dad ( sucking up so young? ), but apparently he won’t let her play Rugby with him and his friends, so she’s shunning him
First crush really is the worst. I love the feather thing. That is so cute!
Oh, the trials and tribulations of childhood! Poor Mason! So many of our actions at this tender age prepare us for our later lives. She’ll be a stronger teenager and young woman having gone through this experience. Maybe, when she is older she’ll remember back to how disappointed she was in herself for not having the courage to approach a boy she liked and this will give her the fortitude to “go for it” when it counts. Who knows, maybe it’ll be Hugo who takes her to her Senior Prom!!
Breaks your heart, don’t it?
