My five-year-old asked me the other day: "Why don't boys like girls?"
I said "Well, Daddy's a boy and he likes me and he likes you, too."
She thought about it & quickly amended her question.
"Why little boys don't like little girls?" (clearly something must've happened in preschool recently)
I said "Oh, Kelly, they'll like you soon enough. And, then they'll chase you all over trying to get you to pay attention to them."
"I'll run really fast, like you do Mommy" she said.
All I can say is... Run, baby run.
