Paula's first love letter

Paula came home with a red rose, said that her teacher gave it to her.  Later this evening while I was away :(   a brave boy named "Jules" stopped by our house to give Paula the letter above.  Adrian said he chatted with the boy's dad who invited us over to their house for a visit.  This sounds like modern day arranged marriage!

My thoughts after reading this letter:

1) Why do some kids think Paula is weird?  I asked P how she felt reading that.....she said that she liked being "weird".

2)  If we ignore this kid and his parent's invitation - will this devastate the boy?  You know, unrequited love?

3)  If we do come over and become friends - is this sending the wrong message?  I don't want to encourage "love" at this very young age.

4)  It's cute that the parents helped their son.   I would be the kind of Mom to help Nic when he likes a girl...totally!

I am going to call the parents tomorrow...

I agree with Jimmy's comments so reached out to his parents.  Thanks so much for your comments - I really appreciate hearing from a guy's perspective. 

I also did some sleuthing (talked to other Moms)  and found out that Jules is French.  His family lived in SD, then moved to Bali for a few years, came back to SD, then moving again....this time to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  A well traveled young man....see his Mother's response - he sounds adorable!!  Paula feels awkward and does not want a play date, but we are going to stop by to give him a little good-bye gift....so I can check this boy out!!  Stay tuned.....

I met Jules.  Nice kid.  He disguised his shyness around Paula by being silly.  I think stopping by and saying "good-bye" properly was the right thing to do.  Paula made him a friendship bracelet :)  His parents are super cool!  I really wished I had met them much sooner, they seemed like very interesting people.  They're going to open a Thai restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.  He'll be going to a school with a British-curriculum plus 50% Spanish immersion.  So many interesting people to meet, so little time.
