All You Need Is Love

Cooper came home from school yesterday and announced that he was "in love with Elianna." Elianna is a little girl in his Kindergarten class. I asked him what it meant to be in love. He said it meant they played together.

I tried to explain the difference between being in love with someone and having friends. I suggested that we save "being in love" for after his mission. He would have none of it and continued to proclaim his feelings.

I have two thoughts

• Where did he learn the phrase "in love with" in the first place?
• Does Elianna know?
