My 5 year old daughter is deeply in love with a little boy from her kindergarten. It was a funny thing that we parents laughed at and found very cute, but they both persisted in their love for one another and are now boyfriend/girlfriend for two and a half years now, still going strong. :D

It is the cutest most wonderful pure children’s love, filled with nice little gestures, hugs, and deep talks about cartoon characters (Hulk being the beloved one of my daughter) and toys (who would win if Darth Vader and Hulk fought?). There is also suffering, as when it’s summer and they can’t see one another for a long time. :D

So this is the context of the smartest comment I heard. My girl was sad that she did not see her boy for a long time (summer break), and she asked me to write to his mom and ask her if he forgot about her, or still loves her. I sent this question to the boy’s mom (knowing it will make her chuckle), and as we waited for her answer, I asked my daughter:

Honey, what will you do if F. says he does not love you any more but has found another little girl?

I expected that she will say that she will be sad, cry… or have any of the similar reactions. However, she thought for a moment and then said as if it was the most natural thing in the entire world:

I will find a new boyfriend.

You.Go.Girl.

♥️

EDIT:

Some of you asked what happened later, and what did F. actually say. :-)

He said he still loves her and she is his only girl.♥️

And here they are before a Ninjago cartoon in movie theatre

EDIT 2:

Halloween 2017, still going strong. :D

EDIT 3:

I’ve been asked for updates a lot. :-)

They are still “together” and loving one another a lot. Here they are at a birthday party last Sunday.

EDIT 4

He made her a “love letter” with their names and red hearts and now she has it in a special place in her room. Every now and then she takes it and kisses it. It is all very dramatic. :-)

She draws the two of them a lot and leaves some of the drawings in his kindergarten locker. Here are a few I found at home.

Dear all,

I decided to disable further commenting, because I’ve been getting so many notifications that I can’t keep track of them any more. Majority of the comments are asking for more updates. I might be putting a few more, but will probably stop soon.

They are now school kids and will soon be a part of social networks themselves, so I will let them decide if they want to tell their story in the future. Maybe in time they will decide to continue updating this answer.
