Childlike Honesty

The day before my birthday I got a facebook message from my cousin Adam. My cousin Adam is on my Dad's side of the family. I'm not quite sure what developmental problems he has but in my mind Adam is always ten years old.

The first message was one line. It said, "Hello Carly Frazier. Its me. Adam."

I chuckled to myself as I read it thinking how much of a little child he is. He commented on how my birthday was the next day and asked how old I would be turning. I told him 23 and he pointed out to me that I'm only three years older than him. Wow. Crazy since he is so much like a child to me. Then he told me that he has a girlfriend. Which made me smile. He deserves to be happy right? He found someone. Then he asked if I have a boyfriend. I told him I don't. He said "well then you need to get one." I laughed again thinking "holy cow! thats been my problem! I just need to GET ONE!!!" So I told him I would work on that. Then he said...

"your twenty three and i started dating when i was eighteen and now i have a girlfriend now"

OKAY! The brutal childlike honesty JUST stopped being cute! I called my mom and we laughed and laughed. Finally I wrote him back and told him that for people as amazing as him it doesn't take very long. That if I were as cool as him I'd have a boyfriend by now. He wrote me back and said, "well i don't know about that but i will tell you this your cute so any guy can ask you out if they ask you or you ask them"

Okay. The childlike honesty is cute again.
