steppin' it up a notch

OK, so the youngster has his first 'official' girlfriend. Oh, there have been 'girlfriends' in the past, but they never got to the point where we actually met them, and they went out on dates and stuff. It was more like holding hands at high school football games, and two weeks later you didn't hear about them anymore. Although one went through a few cycles of that. We were still never introduced, but we heard stories through the grapevine.

Now though, we've met this one, even if I've only heard of her for about a week (so who knows how long it'll last). On Facebook, they both have their status as 'in a relationship' with the other. They've been to the movies, and out for smoothies, and he spends a lot of time at her house. Oh, and then there's the hickey he was sporting Saturday. The wife noticed before I did (of course...wives notice that sort of thing quickly), and went ballistic.

Ahhhh, the teenage years....

update 7/9 - less than a month later, it's over, but they're still friends. Just your average teenage relationship....
