I concur...at 7 years old...he probably just doesn't know what "hot" means...

Even if he does...I can remember when I was a little girl, that I used to tell my mom all the time that I LOVED Olivia Newton-John (yeah, dating myself here haha), and that I had every intention of marrying her.

When my mom told me that I could not marry her because I was a woman, I told her that I would become a man and marry her.

Well, I am STRAIGHT as an arrow, and have been married to my husband for a month shy of 14 years, and have been completely happy.

I think little kids get the ideas of "love" and "LOVE" mixed up. I know that's what it was for me.

They don't understand the concept of love being anything other than that fluttery feeling in their little hearts when they see their friends at school or getting a new cat or dog...and so they use the vocabulary of the time to express this love.
