Christian was helping Ben chop up a tree that came down with all of the snow last week. While working, Ben came across a sprig of misteltoe and showed it to Christian, whose immediate reaction was to run and find William and our family friend Jessi (those two have had a long fondness for each other, as only young kids can) and then proceeded to try and hold it over their heads and make them kissy kiss. Of course William and Jessi take off in different directions running for their life, screaming how disgusting that is.
Later on Christian comes in to clean up and brings the stick with him. As soon as I saw it I told him to take it back outside, I don't want Alex getting hold of it and hurting himself or someone else. Christian looks up at me and says, "I was going to save it and take it to church with me."
I immediately knew what he was talking about, but Ben looked over at me with a question in his eyes. You see, in our new/old ward there is a beautiful young girl that Christian has long held a special place in his heart for. When we moved back here and he saw her again he thought she had become even more perfect than when he last saw her. When Ben mentioned that if you're caught under the misteloe you HAVE to kiss, Christian immediately started strategizing his move. I had to tell him that you have to have TWO willing participants and unless he wants to be in hot water with all of the parents he had better just hold off on the whole kissing thing.
This morning I was collecting laundry from his room and found that precious little misteltoe hidden safely at the bottom of his drawer, kept safe until the appropriate time comes to make his move.
