It's official ~ guys prefer blondes over brunettes. You know when it comes from your own son at the ripe old age of 5, it can't be misunderstood! :) Our conversation yesterday after school:
Me: What did you do at school today?
Jeron: Evelyn and I stamped with letters.
Me: Evelyn? That's a pretty name.
Jeron: I like her.
Me: Ya? I like her name.
Jeron: I like HER.
I laughed. "So why do you like Evelyn?"
Jeron: She has yellow hair. I like girls with yellow hair. They're the cutest.
Me: Don't you like girls with brown hair?
Jeron: I like yellow hair like Evelyn's. She's the cutest.
Me: My hair is kind of yellow right now, but it's brown sometimes too.
Jeron: Ya, you're the cutest too. You and Evelyn are the two cutest.
I laughed again. "You know, girls with brown hair are cute too. Don't you have any friends with brown hair?"
Jeron: Ya, but I like yellow the best. Like Kayla (his cousin.) And Evelyn. I like her.
He pauses and thinks for a minute, then cocks his head . . . "Evelyn has a really cute voice." (almost to himself)
I just laughed, trying not to be too worried that my 5 year old is already contemplating the sound of little yellow-haired Evelyn's voice .... at 5 years old, it starts!! :o)
