Conversation with my 4 year old daughter ...we'll just call her Lil Miss
Me: So who did you play with today in school?
Lil Miss: K
Me: Oh 'K' is a boy?
Lil Miss: Yes he's my boyfriend
Me:
Me:
Me:
(mouth wide open words fail to come out)
After couple of mins, I composed myself
Me: So what is a boyfriend?
Ohhh this answer is just too precious
Lil Miss: its a special look-after-friend
Me: Whats a look-after-friend?
Lil miss: someone you take care of
Me: So do you take care of 'K'?
Lil Miss: Yes I play with him
Me: Does 'K' look after you?
Lil Miss (puzzled expression): No. I just look after him.
(Like "duh...isnt it enough? why should you expect anything in return when you look after someone?")
I had tears in my eyes. Wish it were all that simple and uncomplicated...sigh!
