Before Flirty Is Dirty

(My 4-year-old son has been a flirt and a ladies man since he was born. He’s already developed a soft-spot for cute 20somethings. He, his dad and I are walking down the street carrying groceries to the bus stop when he sees a blonde 19- or 20-year-old bombshell walking towards us.)

Son: *adorably childlike, waving* “Hi!”

Woman: *smiling wide and waving back* “Hi there!”

(Suddenly, my son adopts the smoothest swagger I’ve ever seen, and uses a suave, deep voice I wasn’t aware he was capable of.)

Son: “Heeey!”

(The woman walks by giggling.)

Me: *to my husband* “Did he really just successfully hit on her?”
