Who loves Hunter?

Well, Tuesday evening rolled around and Hunter came home from school. He's a good boy. I look at his pants and see that there is black marker writing all over the legs. So we had a little conversation:
Mom: Why is there black marker all over your jeans?
Hunter: Well, Aliza, and Rachel, and Abby, and Kennady wrote on me.
M: Why didn't you tell them not to?
H: I did, but they wouldn't stop.
M: So you just stood there and let them write on you, why didn't you run away?
H: Mom, we were in the classroom I couldn't run anywhere.
M: Did they do it because they love you?
H: (blushing) Yeah, i think so.

So, here's the proof of how much the girls love my son. Is this a shadow of things to come? Yikes!
