Love Bites

Love triangles exist everywhere... soap operas, movies, TV shows, and in Kindergarten.

Yep Kindergarten. Love triangles. You heard right.

For the past few months, Miles has been bullied at school by one of his classmates. This bully has punched Miles in the stomach a few times and has been sent to the principal's office for his wrong-doings (yeah, he better be sent to the office... that little turd muffin... hittin my kid... how dare he?).

Joe and I were worried that the bullying was a result of Miles's speech (he has a mild stutter). Oy vey. We even had a meeting at school about it.

But... I found out the real reason for the bullying.

The bully is jealous of Miles.

You see, Miles has a female admirer. I haven't seen this little girl because, frankly, I rarely ever see the kids at school (that's Joe's arena). However, I have met with his teacher and she thinks it's a good match and she didn't seem too surprised that Miles has a female fan. He's always had a fan club of sorts. Girls like him. Boys want to be his friend. Yeah. He's that awesome.

Matters get sticky whenever I bring up his admirer. Miles gets embarrassed and upset, so I try not to bring up the topic. Sometimes I just don't want to deal with a crying 6-year-old.

I wanted to learn more about his female buddy, so I waited until we had a chance to talk about his bully (the sneaky Mom trick). Miles was quite frank about it... his bully likes his female friend, but the female friend doesn't like the bully.  And ... it gets better ... they all sit at the same table. Every day, the kinder-love triangle gets played out for all to see. Yeah. Hollywood couldn't have written a better script.

The only thing I'm unsure of is if Miles likes his female soul mate. He's at the stage where "girls are gross" and he would rather not discuss matters of the heart with his mamma.

For now, he'll the elusive boy that everyone wants to be with but is waiting for his real soul mate to enter stage right or through the doors of the gymnasium that is decked out in balloons and streamers for the end of the year dance.

Or it will be until he stops thinking girls are made of smelly goo.
