What a crush means...

Hans has used the word crush a few times and I did wonder if he understood what the word meant a couple of times; however, I never actually asked him about it!

Today, I finally did!

Hans had a secret to share. It was not his own. It belonged to my friend Y's younger son J2 who is 6 years old. Apparently, J2 has a crush on a girl in his class. It totally took me by surprise. I am not sure what J2 meant by that; however. I asked Hans what his understanding of it was?!

This is what he said, "It means he likes her and he wants to ..." At this point in time, Hans did double air quotes and finished the sentence with "smooch smooch" ! Then he proceeded to add this: "It is not like he wants to marry her!"

Wow! "smooch smooch"! I felt enlightened!
