Crushes

Long story short, I was clicking a bunch of links and one thing led to another. Before I knew it, I was reading this article about first crushes on a kids' health web page.

It's a pretty silly article, and it made me laugh. I'm not going to share any first crush stories (they've been suppressed for a reason!), but I will share my favorite line from the article with you:

When you see your crush, a part of you might feel embarrassed and you might want to run away and hide.

Yup.

To go along with the sappiness, here is a comment I saw someone had posted in response to a blog entry. It's nothing fancy or deep, but I think it's cute:

Girls
are like apples
on trees. The best ones
are at the top of the tree.
The boys don’t want to reach
for the good ones because they
are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples
from the ground that aren’t as good,
but easy. So the apples at the top think
something is wrong with them, when in
reality, they’re amazing. They just
have to wait for the right boy to
come along, the one who’s
brave enough to
climb all
the way
to the top
of the tree

Now I'm off to do something less cheesy.
