How to Turn Down a Nine-Year-Old

Welll a couple of days ago (last Thursday to be exact) I was at swim practice and there was a really bad thunderstorm soo the lifeguard people didn't let us in the pool. So they had us go into this room place and we were gonna do like drylands but instead we watched a movie on swim technique. Then, this little kid comes up to me and he looks about 7 but it turns out he's really 9 (so he says) and he goes "can I be your partner?" and I'm thinking, partner for what?? so I figured he just wanted to sit next to me so I asked him and he was like yes. well then I we were just sitting there and I was talking to some people on the other side of me and this kid starts like talking to me and he says "by the way your really pretty. " and I just think, aw he's so cute. So, then he starts to freak me out a bit after he tells me that he's going to make me a ring and give it to me the next day and when asked me if we could hold hands......yea and all I could come up with is "um no that's ok." well then he asks me if I would go on a date with him....and after I told him that I wouldn't he goes "are you sure?? Cause we can go to olive garden or anywhere you want.....Cause I have a lot of money, I have 2....200....203 dollars!" soo I was just really really freaked out right now by this person that I don't even know the name of, and I really doubt that he knows my name. After that he asks me for my number and I tell him that my parents are too poor to afford any type of phone....So of coarse he gives me his number!! yea I guess this guy can't take no for an answer. well I think I should go back to my schoolwork now. toodles!

I think that may be one of the greatest nine year old pick up lines ever! "We can go to the olive garden or something... I've got $203. We could go anywhere you want!" LOL
