Lock up the women

I had one of those moments this evening.
We went to one of Mason's classmates house for dinner tonight. To protect the names of the innocent, we will refer to is classmate as "Girl #1". Girl #1 is also 4 and she has a sister who is in first grade. These are two of the most wonderful little girls....sweet, polite and funny.

We had a great dinner and everyone behaved wonderfully. The plates were cleared, the adults talked and the kids played. All was good.

Off of the kitchen was a little sun room where Mason and Girl #1 were playing. I just did a quick peek in and saw them both sitting in a big chair. Now it is hard to describe the look at both their faces, but I could tell something was up, like they were caught with their hands in the cookie jar. "What are you two up to?", I asked. The response from my Mason was a quick "nothing". This immediately means he did something and there is no way he wants me to know about it. When he is a teenager, I know this will morph in to "Just leave me alone ok. Jeez, can't I have some space." But, until that time, I will live with "nothing"

When I asked a second time, Girl #1 said, "Mason let's just show him". My first thought to this sentence was "Oh crap, what am I going to see?" Then Girl #1 leaned in and kisses Mason on the lips and I do not mean that little peck you see to kids give each other. I quickly told them that maybe they should stop doing that and tried not to have one of those freak out moments. This was quickly followed by them telling me that Girl #1's sister told them to do it......Oh good, that makes this situation better.

I immediately went back in to the kitchen, prepared to ignore that moment and then Girl #1 comes in and yells "Mommy, Mason and I were kissing on the lips" Where was I when she said this? Right next to her dad....he was washing one of the knives from dinner.

The kids went back in to the sun room and her mom and I went in after them, to see them try to kiss again. This time her mom jumped in....I'm not sure why, but I was getting so uncomfortable. I thought it was the father of the daughter that would have this moment, but I guess being the guest in the house and bringing in my boy to their area was causing this affect.

Now of course I know this was an innocent event and no harm was caused, but there was one of those moments. It was that moment in time, standing next to the father while he hears that his daughter was kissing a boy.....Years from now, when the hormones are in full forces, I hope they forget this night and invite us over again...the food was really good.
