DD was asked by a boy to kiss and marry him in KINDERGARTEN!!!!!

[Anonymous]

DD told us about a boy that wanted to kiss her on the playground and she said I told him I am not old enough to be kissed. We are hoping she thinks this way until college.

Oh my god!! Not the teacher call the principal, call social services, tell her about the birds and the bees and how babies are made. Are you kidding me??? Chilax mother hen. God I feel sorry for you when it is her time for the Big Kiss. Hope she carries her hand sanitizer and washes her mouth out with soap when it is over.

I am not worried for her safety per se...but its so inappropriate...at the same time funny...and I dont want to put my daughter in a spot. If I let the teacher know and she speaks to DD about it, I dont want DD feeling like she should not be telling me this stuff anymore.
For now, I told DD to tell the boy that its not cool for 5 year olds., and that the boy will be in trouble with the teacher and principal if he asks again. I also told its germy and explained to her about spreading germs, so we only give high fives if we like someone at school. She likes this boy and he is her friend, so I also dont want to make it hard on her. So confused...

Cooties -- the technical term is Cooties.

And from what I recall, they always only spread from Girl -> Boy, not the other way around.

So your DD should warn her "fiancé"(?) that she has the Cooties, and that he should be careful around her.

That would be the prudent approach.

I have it on very good authority (six year old) that there are in fact boy cooties. So, girls...beware.
