He's a Boy and a Friend

"So Maddie was telling me and my boyfriend... well... I mean... he's a boy and he's a friend... so like me and my boyfriend that we should come play ball with her and some other kids."

She was very animated while telling me this story. I had to pause for a moment to regrasp the fact that this is a "six and three quarter" year old girl and not a 16 year old girl.

Yup - Sam doesn't just say the halves for each year. She had determined that she is no longer six and a half. She is now six and three quarters.

Oh boy...
