It's Nice to Know You Have Someone Looking Out For You

.....even if he is only five years old. My neighbor has the cutest little boy ever. (We'll call him Tommy to protect the cute and the innocent.) He's always coming over to my house and wanting to hang out, have a snack and watch TV. Tommy has a huge crush on me and has to hug me every time he sees me. I swear he can sense when I'm leaving the house because he always comes running from out of no where to get a hug.

This weekend, I had a dinner date with a cute boy I've gone out with a couple of times. As we were getting into my date's car, Tommy comes running out of his house calling my name and asking for a hug. He ran over, hugged me and proceeded to look my date up and down.

"Are you guys going out to dinner?" Tommy asked with his innocent little face staring up at my date.

"Yep, we sure are." I replied.

"Well," he said, placing his hands on his hips, scrunching up his nose and looking my date square in the eye, "you'd better be nice to her!"

Nice to know that at least someone has my back.
