Interesting little talk on the way to school!

I gotta write this before I forget it. This morning after I dropped Ellie off at school, Emma and I were on the way to her school. She said, "I had a dream last night mom". I said, "Really, tell me about it." She said, "I dreamed about a boy. He was very nice and very fansome." (I think the word she was searching for was handsome). I said, "Really?" She said, "Yes, and I was feeling nervous, you know, shy." Then she said, "blue white blue white blue white, that's a pattern you know. His shirt was blue white all the way down." Then she said, "Orange white orange white orange white... that's a pattern too. Henry wears an orange white shirt every day. He's not really that fansome though." Then she said, "Freddie and Carly kissed on I-Carly." I said, "You are too little to kiss boys. You can be friends with boys, but you can't date until you're 16. I-Carly is 16." She said, "Well Ellie has a crush on a boy." I said, "Ellie can't date til she's 16 either." "Hmmm" she said, "Did you tell her that?" I said, "Yep!" Raising little girls is certainly different from raising little boys. I don't remember having these conversations with my boys.
