Emma's amorous suitor

Friday the 5th, Emma came from school. Her entrance was heralded by a cry hinting at some great drama. Worrying that Logan had made faces at her again as has been the case for several other days in our daily Tales of a First Grade Nothing, I asked curiously what happened.

Emma: Will gave me a hug in Gym today!!!
Me: Really? Why are you so upset?
Emma: Because he's not supposed to!!
Me: What exactly happened? Could you tell me about it?
Emma: He came up to me after class, gave me a hug, and then told me he loves me.
Me: What did you say?
Emma: Um, nothing. He left to go with his class after that.

And there you have it. I thought the kiss on the cheek from her friend Austin at age 4 while enroute to preschool was funny, and even now I'm pretty amused by the incident with Will at age 6, but the dread is very real for what lies ahead in the years to come.
