At church there are a couple of little boys Ellie’s age who seem to love her, even though she plays hard to get. For a two year old that means screaming any time one of them in particular gets near her. He doesn’t seem to mind though, and he keeps trying to hug and kiss her every time he sees her. Today when I dropped Ellie off at daycare, one of the parents asked me if I had heard about the phone call that her child, who is in the same class with Ellie, had with his grandmother. I said no, and she told me that it went like this:
Grandmother: How is school?
Child: Good
Grandmother: Do you have a girlfriend?
Child: Yes.
Grandmother: What is her name?
Child: Ellie.
Grandmother: Is she pretty?
Child: WOO HOO!
Apparently this little boy thinks that Ellie’s cuteness can only be described with a “WOO HOO”. So now, at two she already has school boyfriends and church boyfriends. God help me.
