Sam in Love

Sam and I just had this conversation about the little girl who lives across the street. She and Sam are in the same class at school. Today she made a love note for Sam, which he opened once he came home. After he pulled the card out of the envelope, we had the following conversation:

Sam (in a tone of disbelief): Mom...I know it sounds crazy, but L and I are best friends and we're in love!

Me: Oh, really? You're in love?

Sam: Yep. Isn't that crazy?

Me: What do you love about L?

Sam: I don't know.

Wedding bells aren't going to peal anytime soon, but Sam did tell me that he and L want to get a dog together when they are grown-ups. That's a commitment, to say the least! L is a very cute and bright girl. I'm tickled that the card she made for Sam has the phrase "labor of love" (which her mom said she got off of a television show). Ha ha!
