You know that feeling when you first see a boy and your heart skips a little beat or the butterflies in your stomach flutter for a few seconds as he walks by? Thanks to my best friend, we've coined that term a baby crush: Not a real, mature, full blown, "I want to date him" kind of crush, but just the kind of crush that brings a tiny smile to your face when someone mentions his name.
Using baby crush for the first time in front of my new roommates though got quite the reaction! After explained to them though, it created a very accurate scale upon which we can rely on during our nightly "story time." We can now talk about a boy in one of our classes using phrases like, "I think I'm getting a baby crush!" or "I think he's graduating to pre-school!" or "Totally high school!" There is an image associated with each of these terms and I find myself constantly asking, "On a scale of baby to college how would YOU rate this crush??"
It has made our story time so much more effective by establishing a common language among my roommates and I! What started out as just a few minute chat while we brushed our teeth, can sometimes go on for hours until our ornery roommate wakes up and yells at us all to be quiet! That usually makes us giggle harder, but it does send us to bed eventually! It is the highlight of each night, the inspiration for this blog, and basically what dreams are made of!
What would life be like without "story time?" I hope I never have to find out!
