Mack has a crush on an older woman (first grade) in his drama class. This is the first time he has felt this way, and he is giddy with infatuation.
He decided not to tell the little miss about his feelings, because she might not like him back and he might get embarrassed. But he already asked me if he can wear his new “cool jeans” next Thursday. She lines up next to him during the kick line they perform to “Ham it Up” and he told me “I get to put my arm around her back” and giggled. Little operator.
