M:  Mommy, O stole D’s girlfriend.

Me:  Really, what is a girlfriend?  

M:  It means like… it’s hard to describe.

Me:  Well, can you try?

M:  It means you fall in love with a girl.

Me: What happens when you fall in love?

M:  It means you like you just want a date.

Me: What’s  a date?

M:  You go out with a girl.

Me: At school?

M:  No, you just find a restaurant. You eat with each other.  You think you might fall in love.

Me: Fall in love?

M: Yeah, it just feels like you want to marry her. Like you want her to fold in half with you.  You want her just to be with you and forever.

B loved D first, then she loved O.  That’s stealing. 

Me:  Well, what if D just had a different feeling about who she wanted to play with?

M: No. She doesn’t change her mind, she just forgets who she is.  Girls just forget who they are and become someone else. ….

But D just has to have a girlfriend because he is handsome.

Me:  Hmmm.  Who else do you think is handsome?

M:  O.

Me:  And are you handsome?

M:  No, because I have these curls and stuff.
