Friends

Yesterday the little woman and I had some girl time.  The little man hung out with Uncle Pat for the afternoon.  One of the things we did was go shopping at Walmart.  I had a list and we picked up a few more things.  $150 later we left Walmart.
But while we were there she made a comment that gave me pause.  She had picked out a shirt first and said it was because Josie liked unicorns.  Okay.  Then we were in the hair aisle and she picked up some hairclips and comments that maybe these will make it so she has a friend.  Wait...what?
The little woman plays with Josie a lot and I would think she was a friend.  I know the little woman loves doing girl scouts and I would hope those girls were considered her friends.  There are a couple of other girls in the neighborhood that she plays with.
Maybe we need to have a quick conversation as to what she thinks a friend is.  Maybe her definition is different than mine.  But it just breaks my heart when she makes these off the wall comments.  I know when we go places she pretty much only plays with her brother.  She doesn't go off and do stuff with other girls, like he does with other boys.  She is shy and he is not.  And I know she did not have many friends at all until second grade, but really????
