Dating

Kasper, my oldest, was wondering what was the point in getting a girlfriend. What were they for?
He discussed it with a friend and came up with a list of good nd bad things about having a girlfriend.
Good:

1. People dont tease you for not having one.

Bad:

1. You can never do anything fun again because you have to spend all your time with them.

And that about sums up the idea of dating to 9 and 10 year olds. But, they told me there was no hurry. They had until grade 10 to get a girlfriend.

I should also mention that they referred to it as owning a girlfriend, like something you bought in the shop.
