Earlier this week when Jake arrived home after school with the news that his "girlfriend" broke up with him ... I tried to be a comforting and understanding mother. I know that is hard to believe, but I really did.
I mean ... It was his first break up. And my first "try to make him feel better after the break up" moment. We were learning together.
After cuddling with him on the sofa for a while and telling him my own middle school sagas, trying to assure him this is totally par for the course at this stage in life ... I offered up some very valuable information ...
"Jake, don't worry ... there are many other fish in the sea!" I told him.
To which Jake replied, "Yeah ... but I live on land!"
