Cory,
Unfortunately, while you were being sarcastic, it could also be the truth. I hate to think of kids that young drinking, but I fear for some it’s the reality…

I was being sarcastic, obviously.

And yes, alcohol has something to do with most of my WTF’s. Ask me sometime when I’m drunk how quantum physics is bringing religion and science closer every day.

“Alcohol is not the root of all WTF’s.”

Hmm… maybe the root of all of Cory’s though…

(and most of mine!)

Nah, I could definitely see some pubies doing this completely sober. If she was kidding around and paraphrasing her attraction, she did it around her peers (a demographic she’s comfortable with). If she meant it seriously or with intent, it’s because of one of two things: her friends or her upbringing.

Jen,
12 IS really young. They were probably drunk.

Lovely. Twelve and fourteen just seems so young! And that seems so forward.

I guess “back in the day” (for me,) yes, teenagers had sex, but it was with someone they were dating (usually), not with a boy picked up at the fair…

mortonmalaise is correct: The proper vernacular for saying someone wants to make out with/sleep with or (when used more sarcastically) to date a guy is “she wants my/your/his nuts.” Don’t worry, she wasn’t trying to take home a souvenir, she was trying to create, uh, memories.

Are you suggesting, then, that this 12-year-old girl approached your son and his friend and informed them that she wanted their nuts?

I was thinking the same thing . . . she wanted something else entirely. I will remember these stories when I am still potty training my son at three.

Although, apparently he already has a girlfriend, his teachers tell me. She’s an older woman (she’s already 2 and he is just 18 months). She chases him around the room trying to kiss him. He runs away screaming, “NO! NO! NO! NO!” At least I’m pretty sure that if she is trying to steal his balls, it is an entirely different kind of balls.
