Christian...
Not who you're thinking about either.

I taught Sunday School this morning. And there were the regulars: Graham, Shelby, and Noah. But there was another boy that joined us today, his name was Christian.
At first, Christian was very shy… He has a deep skin tone; he’s not black but not white, almost in-between… He is going to grow up to be a very attractive man, you can just tell. As time progressed, he became very “stiff”, he talked like he was a Marine. He was very mature and when every one else was talking and laughing, he yelled, “Shut up and listen to Samantha!!!”. I was like, “whoa…”.
When it was time to clean up our mess, he told me, “I don’t want to leave, I want to stay here…” I never know how to approach a child when they say that, so I say, “I am going over to my mamaw’s and papaw’s house, I can’t stay here forever, they’ll miss me.” He comes back and says, “Can I come with you?” … Didn’t have anything to say to that. So I told him that his mommy would miss him if he came with me… he replies, “I don’t have a mommy.” I was digging myself a deeper and deeper hole with everything I said. I was silent and he walked around the table and gave me a big hug… he wouldn’t let go. I kissed him on the top of the head and I walked him downstairs. I was waiting for my brother to come down from his class when one of his relatives (I don’t know how they are related, but it’s not like she’s a kid, she’s around 40.) came over to me and says, “Christian was in your class right?” I reply, “yeaaah” then she whispers in my ear, “He really likes you…” I look over at him sitting in a chair looking at me… I felt so special.
I think he might look at me as a mother figure… I know that some kids bond with people older than themselves quicker than others. Or, maybe he has a crush on me. She never specified the word “like” so I don’t even know.
Children seem to be the hardest people to understand.
