First Grade Romance

I was going to post something whiny but I just heard the BEST conversation ever and laughed so hard. Initials used for all first grade students involved.

D: "S, are you Z's girlfriend?"
S: [insert disgusted look here] "No."
Me: "Wait, D, you're in first grade. Why do you need a girlfriend? You're SIX. You'll have the rest of your life to find a girlfriend!"
D: "You're right!"
Me: "Yeah? Totally!"
D: "But when I'm older, I'm going to have a girlfriend. She's gonna come to the school and fight everyone and her name is going to be Sofa!"
Me: "D, that's in the future! How do you even know that? You can't be sure of her name or anything!"
D: "My mom told me it's going to be true!"

A few moments later:

D: "Did you know I have a girlfriend?"
Me: "Is it someone in our school?"
D: "Yeah!"
Me: "Is it someone in your class?"
D: "Yes!"
Me: "D, is it A?"
D: "Uh huh!" [real proud]
Me: [pause in thought] "...does she know?"
D: "....no..."
Me: "Then it doesn't count! You can't have a girlfriend if they don't know about it! The other person HAS to know about it!" [rant]

Luckily, the kid thought this was pretty much the funniest thing ever. And hay, so do I!
