Middle Boy and I did a little bit of Christmas shopping while Younger Boy was at youth group.

He wanted to get a present for his "girlfriend". 

He decided on a necklace, but he wouldn't ask the cashier if he could see it.  He wanted me to.  I told him that if he couldn't ask the cashier to see the necklace then he wasn't mature enough to be buying it.  Of course, that is just ridiculous..completely stupid.

Finally he chose to ask about the necklace.  After I said it was time to leave.

So...there is a nice necklace...age appropriate for his "girlfriend". 

I am keeping track of it, because "what is he going to do with it until Christmas".
