As I drove to work this morning I chose not to listen to Ulf Ekman’s audio book Tag och Ät/Take and Eat. Instead, I listened to http://www.klove.com/. It might be that they play some good music at times.
This morning, the hosts Jon and Sherry Rivers were amuzingly upset over the fact that their child, a five year old girl, had kissed a boy in school. This kissed caused them to talk to the girl, they talked to teachers, and teachers talked to the entire Elementary group of kids!!
I might have missunderstood some of the things that were said so do not qoute me.
My random and spontanous thought about this is: What’s the big deal?? I have kids myself and I am not looking forward to the day our two girls and two boys start to date, their first kiss, and the asking for a hand in marriage… OFTA!
But I also remember being 4, 5, and 6. I remember the innocent kiss/es. Maybe I am over reacting in my think that the radioshow hostesses overreacted. That’s whay I want to hear your take on it. Is it ok for a five year old girl and boy to exchange a kiss while playing at school?
Thanks for today!
PS. Taking a break in the baptism writing. I need to find a book that explains the history and development of baptism, but I cannot find it.

I might have kissed a boy once when I was that age. I am sure that there were boys who did a lot of kissing in my grade school, too. (I was a fast runner so I got away.)
Sad story, really. Poor kids are so confused these days. Go ahead and shoot someone, but give them a kiss?!?!? Yikes.
Hilarious!
Dude, whats up with these people : )
AS our 6 yr old said when asked “What does it mean to have a crush on a boy?” She simply answered-”its when you wanna be best friends with a boy”innocent enough that boy kissed her on the cheek later that week…opps. She has since moved on.
I listened to that show on my way to work and was responding just like Jon and Sherry….mortified. I believe that a kiss is sacred. It is something you save for the “ONE”. I did not always believe this as my husband said I was the “Kissing Slut” from 5 years old and up. I knew the boys liked it. As a born again believer in Christ I have learned that God gave us special gifts that are only meant for 1 person to recieve. You hold them precious to you and never give them away until the day you stand at the alter and you know in your heart God has given you the “ONE”. The moment the pastor says you may kiss your bride…. hmmmmm. That is when the gift you saved is given to the “ONE” it was meant for all along. Some say this is to religious or legalistic… But I have lived the life of a woman who gave everything away and when God brought the “ONE” to me he only got the left overs. My memories are flooded with the faces my lips touched. I will never be able to look at my loving husband and say “I kept this just for you. Know one knows but you what my kiss is like. ” I wish I had..
