Not Ready for Boyfriends

Discussion at bed time tonight:

Mackenzie: I am going to ask Andrew to be my boyfriend tomorrow.

Mom: Does that mean he is your friend and he is a boy?

Mackenzie: No, it means he is my boyfriend.

Mom: If he wants to be your boyfriend, does that mean you two do anything differently?

Mackenzie: We already do things differently.  He sits at a different table than me, he colors differently than me . . .

Mom:  I mean if he wants to be your boyfriend do you to act differently together or do different things together?

Mackenzie:  I don't know.  No.

Mom: How do you know about boyfriends?

Mackenzie:  Karly in Miss Tammy's class used to always talk about her boyfriend Justin Beiber.

Mom:  I see.  You know that Karly never really met Justing Beiber, right?

Mackenzie:  He was her boyfriend.

Mom:  He doesn't come see people in Toledo.  I think she meant that she wanted him to be her boyfriend.  He is on TV.  He sings songs on the radio.

Mom:  What does it mean to be someone's boyfriend?

Mackenzie:  I don't know.
