So the boys have two neighborhood friends, Boy and Girl. Most often they all play together but sometimes the boys play with just Girl. Rarely do I get to see them play with friends, because playtime usually happens while I am work. But on Sunday, I got to watch (and listen) while the boys played with Girl!

Basically, they stashed her in a pile of pillows next to fire place and wrestled with each other while she played with pipe cleaners. I know, it sounds so fun. I heard something about playing zoo, so I am pretty sure she was in a cage. At one point, Henry threw a wad of pipe cleaners across the room and told her to fetch them, which she did, with glee. It took all my energy to recognize that fetch was just a game and not a reflection of Henry's perception women. They're only four after all.

A short while later, Girl asked Wyatt if he liked the curls from her braid.

No, I don't like that hair.

Wyatt! If you don't have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything at all. Girl, I think your curls look very nice.

She looked back towards Wyatt and said,

So do you like my curls or not?

Sure

Yeah, you've got curls like Uncle Jack!
