He went to Jared

What 13 letter phrase means "Are you kidding me? What do you mean a BOY asked my 4th grade daughter to be his Valentine and bought her a "diamond" heart necklace with matching earrings, along with a Webkinz, a Dr. Pepper, and a Hershey bar with a custom-made wrapper?!!"

He. Went. To. Jared.



Ok, maybe Walmart.

But still.

HUH?

4th. grade. y'all.

This is where you can picture me with my eyes squeezed shut and my fingers in my ears going "la la la la la la la la - I can't hear you! I'mnotreadyforthis.I'mnotreadyforthis." That was me on the inside.

On the outside I smiled really big and gave her a big hug and said, "WOW! That's so exciting!"

And then we had a talk about what exactly this means, and what exactly is ok and what is not, and what exactly.....what exactly.....what exactly am I supposed to do with this???

I. So. Am. Not. Ready. For. This.

Any suggestions? Come on, bloggy friends, don't fail me now. I need your help.
