Tag: first crush

There is only one first love in each of our lives. Do you remember yours? Although it may be far in the past, most of us can still feel the excitement of that first crush. We can even feel butterflies in our stomach just thinking about that special puppy love. We usually smile when thinking about it, even though it ended because it wasn’t "real" love. We file it away in our memory banks with the logical level-headedness only boring old adults can attain.

So when our children experience their first crush we recognize it as puppy love, a passing crush that most likely will end. Some of us might worry about our children getting their hopes up only to be disappointed later.
