My son when in fourth grade got the most awful crush on a girl.

Just before the class Christmas party, he begged and pleaded and I took him to a shop and helped him select a pretty gold bracelet for $5, and they giftwrapped it. He was so thrilled.

He carried it in his backpack the next day, and I couldn't wait to find out how the gift-giving went.

He got home and was very happy. I asked, "Well? Did she like it?"

"She sure did! Boy!"

"Well, what did she say to you?"

"Mom! I didn't want her to know it was from me! I just put it in her desk.

"Boy, did she love it!"

I suppose he had the right idea, actually. That was true love.
