Ladies' Man

Dear Connor,

I don't know how I feel about this, but you have become quite the ladies' man. Whenever you arrived at school in the morning, several of your female classmates would excitedly run to the door to greet you, shouting your name and hugging you as if they were tweens and you were a member of One Direction. Many of those same classmates are going to summer camp with you now and you still elicit the same enthusiasm from them. After camp today, your friend Bella saw you in the hallway and gave you a big bear hug. Then Alyssa saw you and she ran over to hug you, too, so that you were literally being sandwiched by the two of them. So popular!

The crazy thing is that sometimes, you purposely act like all this female adoration is sooooo above you. One day, we were at the playground when we ran into your friend Sophia. You talk about her all of the time and I know you like her but when she came up to you and said hi, you blatantly ignored her and suddenly started inspecting the handlebars of your scooter as if they were the most fascinating things in the world. I'd never seen you do something like that before. Sophia kept trying to talk to you and only when she mentioned that she'd brought her bike and asked if you wanted to see it did you acknowledge her presence and play with her. 

It is kind of funny to witness your too-cool-for-school behavior now, but if you act this distant and aloof to girls when you get older, I will personally kick you in the butt.

                                           
                                          You and one of your fans

Love,
Mom
