Newsflash!

Sebastian - kicked to the curb!

In his place...Damon!

Da-who? you ask, confused.

Damon. The Angry Young Man.

OMG!?!!! Whaaaaaat?!

Color me gob-smacked, people, it's true. Turns out that Sebastian blew his chances with one of the finest 5 year olds in Colorado by accusing her of cheating at a race. Well! That blackguard! That...that...brat!

When asked about it (neutrally, mind you) Caitlin says she wasn't cheating and that she believes he just said that to upset her. When I asked, "Why Damon?" she said that he didn't accuse her of cheating. I had to point out that surely lots of other boys also didn't accuse her of cheating, so what was working in Damon's favor?

Well! He said that he wishes he was a grown up so that he could marry her.

Cue the "Awwwwwwww!".

It's true! Aaaaand, even better, we had a neutral 3rd party confirm that Damon is nicer to Caitlin than to anyone else in school and always wants to sit next to her and share. Ooooh! I asked if he's doing better now and the answer was "Mostly." Maybe Caitlin can get him to be nicer? The love of a good...girl and all that, you know. This does explain the sudden up-tick in requests to have play dates with him and his constant need to get her attention whenever we're picking her up or dropping her off.

Man! Is this a harbinger of things to come? Interested in bad boys already?!

I've gotta tell you this, though - while we're willing to condone a crush on the class bad boy (semi-reformed) at age 5, there ain't no way this will fly at 15!
