At the end of Christmas vacation, Jude had been itching to get back to school. At bedtime one night over the holiday, he talked about going back.
"Mom," Jude said, "Do you remember when you picked me up at school before Christmas that one day and [name of girl Jude likes] said 'Goodbye, Jude'?"
"Yes," I answered back.
"When I get back to school I will get to see her."
"I know."
"I want to have a playdate with her at my house."
"Jude," I said, "we don't have her number."
"Well," he said sounding frustrated, "we can call and ask her for it."
"But I won't know what number to call if we don't have it."
"Then I will give her my number," he announced.
"Do you know your number?"
He then recited his number and added, "but I will need Karenna to help me write it down for her because I need help writing the fives. And the nines."
Ha-ha. That is awesome. Smooth.

@Jeff: Here's an update for you: Jude told me Friday that he asked her to marry him. She said no. Better luck next time. :(
