Caleb is waaaayyy down in the dumps tonight with a serious problem. He's scheduled Friday night to ride with his coach up to the high school game and be a ball boy for the game, something he truly loves to do. Puts him right on the sidelines and out on the field... what could be better? Coach asked him to go and we just confirmed it all last night. So today at school guess what Caleb gets? An invitation to his first ever boy/girl party from one of the cutest girls in the 6th grade. And it's Friday night. The same Friday night that will find Caleb an hour north standing on a sideline in the pouring rain through the entire length of the party.
Have I said enough? The boy is seriously bummed and I am seriously bummed for him. Poor kid.

My heart breaks for Caleb! Nothing worse than being in the 6th grade and cute babes chasing you around. (I never had the problem till I met Marilyn!) If Calbe is up front with her and lets her know that he would really like to go with her but has already made plans that a lot of others are counting on him and tells her he would like to do something with her at another time, it just MIGHT work. Go Caleb!!!!!!!! MB
bummer. I can see how he would feel that way. Between you and me...large boy/girl parties never turn out well....maybe I'll get Jake a ball boy job in junior high. ;p
LOL! Poor Jake. :)
This isn't a date, by the way, just an invitation to a party.
Absolutely no question-football is waaaaaay more important. His memories of the boy girl thing will always be convoluted, awkward, and confusing at best. But hanging out with highschoolers, on the sidelines no less-those will always be great memories. Tell him that Uncle Kyle said that girls will be around all year, but football season lasts only a few precious months!
Windy says you need to find out when all the future boy girl parties are, and make arrangements with the coach ahead of time so Caleb can never go.
I'm with my girls here - though I can understand Caleb's disappointment. But he'll have more uncomplicated fun at the football game.
Remember - we have all recently been through Jordan's Jr high years. I don't think Dallas can be that different from OC - but then....
Good news! Another invite has arrived and this time there is no football game to stand in his way. Yeesh.
No, No, No darcy. That is bad news. Didn't you read the last posts?
KJ
Good news from Caleb's perspective. Sarcasm from mine.
Oh Well - can't fight the inevitable when you have a hunk football star.
You'll just have to get sneaky.
God Bless You my cousin...that's all I can say.
He had a good time at the football game, although it poured rain and he was solid mud up to his knees when he got home after 11 p.m. The team won 71-22, so that was good.
