lucky number 13



There is something magical about turning 13 for Langford boys.  Not only do they start to really notice girls, but the girls start noticing them.....in droves.  This happened to Carter two years ago, when in the month of December, according to one of his friends, he broke a school record by having 12 girls liking him at the same time.  That Christmas he got 3 Christmas presents from girls.

We seem to be repeating history with Jared.  Every day it seems that some new girl is texting him and asking who he likes, either for a friend or herself.  The other day I picked him up from school and he was already on his phone, when I questioned why, he said he just got a text from a friend that heard that two girls that liked Jared were talking about him and when one found out that he didn't like her the same way she liked him, she began to cry.  He is such a heart breaker.  Then last night I was at the mall food court with him and a friend and two cute girls came up to them and started talking to Jared.  When he came over to the table I asked who they were, he said he had no idea.  They just came up and said, "Hey Langford" and started talking to them.  Jared's soccer hoodie had his name on it.

Thankfully things calmed down with Carter in the 8th grade, so we assume we only have half a year left of it with Jared.

I'm smiling ear to ear while reading this post. So funny!! It seems "funny" because I can't imagine your quiet Jared responding to all this attention. :)

So how *is* Jared responding to all this attention?
