Speaking of Babes (Hunks, Whatever)
There's a middle school dance coming up, and I know exactly who I want to dance with! (PS - he's such a babe!)
It's October 22, 1990, and I'm in 6th grade. There's a middle school dance coming up, and I am so excited at the prospect of dancing with my latest crush, who, by the way, is in EIGHTH GRADE. You know how much of an age difference that is when you're in middle school! Be sure to check out the video read aloud to find out if I actually get to dance with him!

Enjoy a video read-aloud of today's entry with commentary!
Ok ok, just in case you're not able to watch the video, I'll tell you here: I DID get to dance with him! I asked him (no way was he going to ask me), and he said YES! I can only imagine how he might have gotten teased for dancing with a 6th grader, or maybe he didn't. Either way, he was nice enough to say yes, and I can still remember how happy I was.
For today's writing prompt, let's talk about crushes! Did you crush on people as a kid? If you did, when did that start up for you? I feel like it hit me kinda early; I remember crushing on boys as early as 5th grade. Eep! If you had a crush, what did you do about it? Were you the kind of person to ask them to dance? If you did, how did it go for you? Sign in to share your thoughts!
Our first BFF tier live Zoom is slated for January 30. Don't miss out on this free live event, just for those in the BFF subscription category. It's going to be totally rad!
