: Overheard on the bus (gelflingflys, you'll love this one)
4-year-old boy: I want a girlfriend!
Mom: You have lots of time. When you're older you can have a girlfriend.
4-year-old: I want a girlfriend!
Mom: When you're older.
4-year-old: I want a boyfriend!
Mom: (pause) You can have a boyfriend instead of a girlfriend when you're older, yes. 4-year-olds just have friends.
4-year-old: I want a boyfriend AND a girlfriend!
Busload of passengers: (laughs)
Mom: (bravely and a bit too heartily) Well, everyone makes different choices. Right now you can just have lots of good friends, boys and girls, okay?
4-year-old: I want a boyfriend and a girlfriend RIGHT NOW! I want to buy them at the grocery store.
Busload of passengers: (crack up and try not to fall out of their seats from laughing)
