Some people are wired. In fourth grade (around 10, right?) all my little classmates lost their cool about who was going with who to a school dance. No, I'm not kidding. Never mind these "relationships" lasted all of 10min and there were both parents and toddlers at the "school dance"; the class still exploded into drama Gossip Girl would envy.
Add to the fact that the squirt is probably trying to mess with Dick's head... and you have one creepy little 10 year old.
