E and S have imaginary friends. Melissa and Boo Boo respectively. Melissa has been around for quite a while. Boo Boo just a few months. Melissa and E talk on the phone, go places and recently have started texting. Melissa's mom just had twins. And a couple of days ago Melissa and Boo Boo got married.
(Me) "Melissa and Boo Boo must be quite a bit older than you" (to have just gotten married)
(E) "They are 17!"
(Me) "That's still pretty young to get married"
(E) "Aunt M is 17."
(Me) "And she's not married"
Tonight on the way home from Awana in the car...
(E) "Boo Boo is sooo silly. Melissa has such a silly husband! I haven't had a chance to tell you about the wedding. I got to go to it. I shall tell you about it tomorrow. For one thing, I got to play the game where the people who aren't married get to try to catch the bouquet. I'm not married so I got to play. But the funniest thing happened; S caught the bouquet! So, we decided to get married! But he wont dance with me. Well, he did a couple times but he said he's done."
(Me) "Ummm.... well..... we're home."
This is just such a funny conversation to me. For one thing, it is from a girl whose total Barbie or similar doll collection is zero. The total Disney princess movies she has seen is zero. Her interest in princess paraphernalia is zero. And yet....
