Young Love

My fifteen year old son asked me if I would take him to the flower shop on Saturday. He wanted to get a single white rose for his girlfriend. They have been dating for sixteen months now, and they were celebrating the anniversary of when they met.

I said, "So you two have been together for one and one third years now, huh?"

"Yeah," he said and grinned.

Well...gee...I'm just not ready for this. What's a mother to do, though, in the face of such open, unabashedly giddy love and devotion.

I took him to the flower shop, of course.


Later that day when his girlfriend came over, she brought with her a miniature pumpkin and two miniature gourds as an "anniversary" gift to him. You would have thought she handed him a million dollars from the smile on his face.


A flower, a pumpkin, and some gourds---just small tokens, but they are tokens of young love.

As a result of this exchange between my son and his girlfriend, I have the song, "Young Love" in my head. There are at least three songs with the title, "Young Love."

There is one by Air Supply and another by Chris Brown, but the one in my head is the song by Sonny James. So I decided to post it for this week's Music Monday.

My son would say, "Mom, that is a moldy oldie!"

He's right, of course. It is an old song, and it may have a bit of mold on it, but this young love between my son and his girlfriend is obviously still quite new and fresh in my household.

Wow! Did you notice the sparkly vests and the string ties? HA!
