my ds9.. 10 this year came home from school yesterday and was telling me about his new girlfrie d.
just innocent things like how she told him she had a crush on him because he allways listens to her and makes her laugh.
then told me about their first "date" at lunch time they sat together and went out to play.
he kept suggesting games to play or do, and she kept replying "if you want to"
he replied that " I don't want you to agree just because, i don't want you do some thing just because I said so, you can say no you want to play on the monkey bars"
then proceeded to tell me he wants to buy her something nice.. like a Pandora ring... no son no. 
now I know it doesn't seem like much but it just hit a proud moment cord.
maybe it's becayse my exh, their dad was abusive and it was a glimpse into ds thinking an d it showed he respects other peoples/woman's views. I just wanted to high five him.
