It was bound to happen

Everyday I go in Alex's backpack, pull out his uniform (he changes for gymnastics/karate), look over his homework, and sign his behavior chart.  I also pull out any papers he's wadded into the bottom as he shoves in the rest of it. 

Today I saw a yellow post-it note at the bottom.  Since his teacher and I write notes back and forth all the time, I assumed it was for me.  Nuh-uh.  In third grade girl writing, it read, ""Dear Alex, I love you.""  So I ask my son, ""What is this?"" and he says, ""It was folded up in this paper.""  Said paper was a fourth of a sheet that had been sealed with stickers; it read, ""To Alex. From your secret admire""  He smiles and shrugs.  He suggested that perhaps it was a boy who wrote it trying to fool him or a girl joking around with him.  I doubt it very much.

I can tell he is flattered, but it's not a big deal.  His teacher said he's finally socializing more with kids than adults.  These are good things.  While it's cute, it's also slightly annoying that some girl is making eyes at my baby.
