I was 5 and I was an Eager Beaver! Now for you folks who aren't sure what an Eager Beaver is, well it's like a watered-down, kiddy version of Adventurers, which is a watered-down version of Pathfinders, which is...well you get the point. We learned things like...yeah I really don't remember. Maybe what to do if your house was on fire, then again, that could just have been something my parents told me. Anyways we had a get-together with all the local Adventist Christian kids at someone's house. It might have had something to do with the Eager Beavers, but I could be wrong, if I am, I'm not sure why I just educated you on what an Eager Beaver is. Well back to my story, so all us kids were playing outside and I was up playing on this large boulder. It was pretty big (and I was really little), and I just couldn't get off it by myself. What's a girl to do? Well that's when he came along. His name was Edward and he helped me off the big rock. Apparently that's the way to a girl's heart right there; I was pretty impressed. After relating the experience to my mom, I confessed "I think I like him." Well actually I don't remember that part at all, but my mom says it's true.
So folks, that's the story of my first crush. The photo at the top was taken that same day I believe. And ironically he's the boy in the blue shirt with the red hearts (I'm the girl all the way on the right).
Five seems a little young for a first crush, but I googled the average age for first crushes and it seem to be anywhere between 4 and like 12 and 13. So I guess I was on the earlier side. How old were you when you had your first crush?
