Ah, young love...

So there was major drama going on in chapel today.  Remember that 1st grader and 4th grader that were "dating"?  Well, yesterday, the first grader bit one of his classmates and got in major trouble.  Today during chapel, his "girlfriend" wrote him a note telling him what his punishment was.  What did the note say?  "I am breaking up with you." 

Yep.  She broke up with him via note right before chapel.  When this little lady saw me watching her, she whispered, "Miss Heintz, did you see my note?  I broke up with him.  I need to date someone older plus it's been two days already."  Wow, talk about kicking 'em to the curb!

The drama increased even more after chapel when we practiced for our Christmas program.  All was going well until it was time to practice the procession and recession.  Somehow, these two star-crossed lovers ended up walking next to each other in the procession out.  The 4th grade girl was NOT happy.  She stomped out of church in a huff.  And then she refused to walk back in. 

Instead, she sat at a table in the back of the fellowship hall, pouting.  Trying not to roll my eyes, I asked her what the problem was. 

In our program, we have more students on one side of the church than are on the other.  If she had been paying attention, she would've learned that who you walk in with is not the same person that you walk out with.  Plus there were some people missing, so her aisle partner was not set in stone.  However, since she was lost in her own little world, she was absolutely positive she was going to be stuck with her ex-boyfriend.  Eventually I convinced her that she wouldn't have to walk by him and she reluctantly made her way back into church.  Lovely.  Now let's hope tomorrow doesn't put the two of them together again.
